For you to attempt to credit the Bible or creationists for that particular theory is disingenuous.

Georges Lemaitre, who posited the Big Bang theory, was a Catholic priest, a creationist if you will.

The irony here is that Judge Jones would have forbidden any discussion of Lemaitres work in public schools. At least I think it's ironic sharpy. :-}

"Georges Lemaitre, who posited the Big Bang theory, was a Catholic priest, a creationist if you will."

And many scientists throughout the world are religious. This does not mean that their religion became part of their science.

The question was not if any creationist has made a contribution to science, we know that there are creationists who carefully divorce their belief system from their work, the question was if creationism has made a contribution. Neither you nor celmak have answered that question.

Sorry, forgot to answer this one.

"The irony here is that Judge Jones would have forbidden any discussion of Lemaitres work in public schools. At least I think it's ironic sharpy. :-}

This sounds like an unjustified conclusion. Was his work on the BB based in religion? If his work is accepted science I doubt very much if it would be excluded.
