No. He hasn't, in this statement, made a value judgement concerning YECs (I don't wish to waffle, that's who we are discussing). He's simply pointed out that those who hold a very minority and literal view of Genesis (i.e. zealots) flail around horribly in the face of pervasive science that indicates a different set of events. It's 100% accurate. He didn't say you were wrong, so no strawman.
He also didn't say what his shoe size was, but he did implicitly admit to building a strawman with help.
Anyway, here is the strawman " zealots who think that any investigation of nature constitutes a threat to their religious beliefs". I doubt that those individuals would be using computers to converse on FR.
