If he did, he wouldn’t be a closet creationist, but an open one. However, his invocation of an argument from ignorance, and his deeming a question as to whether he accepted evolution to be religious rather than scientific, almost crosses that line. Which is why, being a politician and being faced with a public disaster, he cya backtracked, but did so clumsily, by invoking the long discredited Lamarckian view, and thus further demonstrating his abject ignorance of evolution.

Good call, of course if he said ‘I am a Creationist”, he would not be in the closet.
All that is really clear is that he is a Christian, which does not equate to Creationist.
You are making an assumption which may or may not be accurate, but still an assumption.
