Further to “Everybody you don’t like is a “creationist” these days, it is outrageous how people are just plain poaching the “creationist” brand.
It was bad enough that people called Mike Behe a creationist (Stephen Jay Gould did), even though Behe doesn’t think acts of creation occurred. Same thing happened to Platonist Michael Denton and, oh yeah, agnostic David Berlinski.
They caught the creationist cooties, somehow. Big “today in science” thesis in that, doubtless.
Then atheist mathematician Peter Woit got called a creationist because he thinks multiverse nonsense is, well, nonsense. As we said at the show trial, “creationist” is the new skeptic.
But now, even Gould is a “creationist” because he doubted crackpot Darwin theories of race. So are all the progressives who have persecuted creationists.
If I were a stock broker, I would advise “Have some ‘creationists’ in your portfolio.”
Update: Jerry Coyne called Simon Conway Morris a creationist in 2009.
