That’s a very poor example, not only has creationism been viewed as scientific historically, but the very first modern scientists were nearly all creationists. Since the formulation of the scientific method there has been no alteration in the definition of science that would exclude creationists today. What this really comes down to is one side trying to silence all opposition, which is always a sign of weakness. Let the best science win.

Yes, and historically creationism was always accepted as scientific. Engaging in self-serving revisionism proves nothing.

…so an agnostic can be a creationist? Yes or no?
