Lol, funny trailer. I especially love the part where he mentions that creationists would not be harassed by speaking their views in the age of Galileo... Got that right!
Creationists are not harassed for speaking their views today. Their problem is that they want to call their mythology science. This is no different than calling astrology a science. Of course they deserve to be harassed for that. The harassment is not for their views, but simply for touting something as science when it is easy to demonstrate that it isn't anything of the sort.

I meant it as a joke... Galileo himself was harassed by creationists of his day. Hence he was not in position to harass creationists...

Creations science IS science. Astrology is similar to the science of cosmology. If it accurately describes the phenomena around us then it is a science. Creation does that much better than evolution theory.

I agree with your statement about astrology being related (at least in ancient times) to cosmology, but I would like for you to explain in painstaking detail how creation "science" is even remotely accurate.

Well there has to be a God to explain all of the cosmological and quantum designs. To assign all of existence's designs and marvelous mechanisms to chance is clearly unscientific.

You cant take evolution to the lab. Yet species separation is absolute and in conformance with Biblical statements.
