How sad and depressing it is to see that an academic of such standing has been apparently so badly affected by his experiences with US fundie students that he is unable to see the arbitrary veneration of a non-theory he's buying into. To provide creationism with even the slightest patina of respectability by introducing it to young minds in science classes as a possible account of the universe's origins is academically unworthy, and I am afraid this professor really needs to receive immediate professional censure.
I hope he receives it in spades.
Best,
Styrer
