There is nothing scientific about creationism. Creationism is the antithesis of science. This is like putting a PETA figure in the Hunting License department.

I agree with the above, but let’s judge on what he does, not what he privately believes. Here’s the thing. I’m not a creationist, but I am religious and sometimes I feel that some of this negativity toward creationists spills over onto people of faith. I know Charles has said that Christian and creationists are not synonymous and I appreciate that. What I don’t like is the witch-hunt mentality that sometimes creeps out on these boards.
Again, if he is not fit for the position, then I will be happy if he is thrown out. Let’s see what he does.
(Heh. Knowing my luck he’ll introduce young-earth creationist agenda next week.)
