I thought he was a YEC/literalist.
But he talks like there's two versions of reality, the scientific one and the make believe one where the bible makes sense. So the Earth can be 6,000 years old and millions of years old at the same time. He is kind of fascinating. He's a Calvinist fatalist, I'm sure of that bit, in effect if not by name.
Who knows! Talking in this dual sense is not unusual; a way of coping with cognitive dissidence I suppose.
Maybe I just haven't been paying attention properly and he has a totally coherent and consistent model of reality.
