Good catch, thanks—Craig is not in fact a creationist.
Going back to the original question, though, I think such viewpoint-cracking is what Carroll is going for. I wouldn’t like to guess his chances of success—Craig is really good in public debating—but I do think that’s his intended effect, and that he thinks it’s worth it.
Does Craig actually deny “elementary facts about evolution” or disagree with mainstream cosmologists about the “age of the universe”?
