If they support current Big Bang theory, they're all creationist.

Do you have any idea how deeply flawed your reasoning is?

By the same reasoning, if a schizophrenic claims the sky is blue and we all agree with him, that makes us schizophrenic too.


Which is exactly why one shouldn't be barred from employment based on personal beliefs... It is Dawkins who makes the comparison between religion and disease or disorders, no?


You are aware, of course, you are questioning a completely different thing, right?

The deeply flawed reasoning is implying that, because we agree with the observations of a creationist astronomer on the big bang, we are also creationists.


Believing that the Universe did not exist before some time T does not make you a Creationist in the sense of the word that is employed in this discussion.

It's believing that the value of time T is such that it conflicts with innumerable results from geology, physics, and astronomy that does.
