Let's not get sucked into the rhetorical game of picking one unassailable point and using that to justify myriad insanities.

Yes, the Big Bang is a theory. A well-supported theory, the most scientifically plausible theory, but a theory. Going to excessive lengths to point out that it's a theory smacks of creationism, which has no basis in science.

None of this changes the fact that a political appointee's job should NOT be "to make the president look good".
