So scientists have long been mocking creationists with ideas of Intelligent Falling, Wrathful Dispersion, etc. We didn't really expect them to start going after language, gravity, or, say, the Big Bang, even though all those are just "theories".

Then a 24-year-old journalism major was given a job with P.R. over at NASA by the Bush administration.

And he insisted that all mention of the Big Bang be followed by the word "theory", claiming

The Big Bang is “not proven fact; it is opinion,” Mr. Deutsch wrote, adding, “It is not NASA’s place, nor should it be to make a declaration such as this about the existence of the universe that discounts intelligent design by a creator.”


Sigh. And people are billing this administration as 'pro-science' now?
