Why is this fact an ad hominem?
To: From many - one.
Because it has nothing to do with his paper.
You are trying to discredit his scientific works based on his religious beliefs. People have tried that with Bush and others. It does not fly in this particular country. Maybe in Saudi Arabia or Iran.
Your comment implies that because he believes in a Creator God, his scientific opinion has no credibility. That is bigotry, pure and simple. It is also incredibly intellectually arrogant. It is ad-Hominem in it's most basic form.

What does your pointing out his being a Moonie have to do with the discussion...other than to potentially personally embarrass him...in front of others.
I don't know about classic...but definitely ad hominem.
