Actually, it's simpler than that. They will do all that merely because he won't express his own personal opinion about creation. IT has nothing to do about what he really believes.
Now, this thread and the response by the evos so far, is a perfect example of why. NO dissent allowed.
If the poor guy even seemed to be close to admitting that there could be a possibility of a creator, no matter if he believes in old earth creation or not and whether he believes in evolution or not, the mere fact of his admitting a Creator is enough to have him lose his job.
The evos will ASSume a YEC, 6 day, 6,000 year old earth NO MATTER WHAT he says and cram him into the box, insist that what they say his beliefs are are true about him, no matter what he says, and will not be satisfied with anything less than his head on a silver platter. It will be social, political, and career suicide for him.

Yup- All we get is ‘there’s lots of evidence’- Yeah? Coulda fooled me.

He’s already done for- His opinions don’t jive with hte opinions of the masses so he’s a leper as far as they’re concerned. All they have to do is state “Ther’es mountains of evidence’ when all there is are ‘mountains of assumptions’ about the evidences. IF two species show homological similarities in say their femur- why hten they musta evovled one from another- despite hte billions of genetic differences and myriad morphological differences. ‘The fossil record is nearly complete’ is apparently what passes for scientific evidence these days
