Yes BBT should be outlawed, the man who first hypothesised it was a Catholic Monk and dreaded creationist. So, reading his mind we should have known that Lemaitre had ulterior motives and his theory should have been rejected out of hand because it posited a creation event.

Oh, wait a minute, thats exactly what happened. Einstein and friends rejected Lemaitre and his own field equations because both pointed to a creation event which did not accord with Einsteins world view.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

"You're not actually of a mind that religion is banned from the public square, are you?"

That's unconstitutional...as unconstitutional as mandating that religion be taught by public employees.

Clearly he was a creationist in the cosmological sense. But using the word creationist, especially in the context of a thread like this, implies the biological sense (fallacy/sin of equivocation)

Do you have any evidence whatsoever that LeMaitre was a creationist in the biology sense? If you don't, you should withdraw this and apologize for libeling a great scientist.
