Does the Bad Astronomer Support Creationism?

In this thread there is some general grumbling about dishonesty in creationist circles.

Actually, I find this rather funny since not only does the Bible have examples of experiments, it also has an excellent definition of science itself. It makes you wonder if Creationists ever read the Bible.
 
What a misleading and dishonest headline. :(
As the author of the headline, I take issue with that assessment. And my posts explain why.

Anybody who knows Phil knows that he does not, in his heart, support or otherwise promote creationism. However, he made some careless remarks that could have been so interpreted.

The fact that the answer to the question posed in the headline is a resounding "NO" does not mean the headline was itself either misleading or dishonest. I stand by it.

At the time, Phil read this forum on occasion. One of the purposes of the headline was to grab his attention, so that he could "clarify" his remarks before someone tried to distort his views and try to smear his reputation.
 
Seems like there was no effort to root out confounding variables. What if Daniel and co had a better exercise regime? In a scientific study the two different diets would be randomly assigned. In this case, on the other hand, the experimental group was a preexisting group of the same ethnicity and shared customs.
