Judging an argument as petty doesn’t automatically equate it with idolatry. This is only your opinion.
Idolatry is worshiping something other than God. No one is worshipping something other than God here. Therefore, this is not idolatry.

I agree with that and, of course, it is my opinion.
“Idolatry is worshiping something other than God. No one is worshipping something other than God here. Therefore, this is not idolatry.”
Yes And in doing so it takes away from God and puts focus on extraneous things.
Young Earth Creationism too often put the emphasis on such a belief to the level where it obscures the Gospel.
An interesting post was here the other day that serves as an example. It was from ICR, I believe, and was titled Atheist Converts to Creationist, as if Creationism were a religion in it’s own right.
Here is the thread I mentioned.
