I think one of the big differences between us and a creationist is:

If the data is correct, we will embrace it. Skeptically, of course, but embrace nonetheless if true and proveable. Even if it contradicts previous conclusions, or shows the previous data as wrong.

The Creationist will fight any new data that does not coincide with their beliefs, proof or not.

This guy's written a book about a new theory of gravity as well. Wonder if any theory is safe from this board-certified urologist.
