You might have a point if he was discussing a political issue.
But he's calling out people of national - if not global - stature, who wear scientific illiteracy as a badge of honor. Their stance on such issues gives gives millions of other similarly uninformed people the rationale for adopting such views as their own.
Not only is he right on the issue (the age of the earth, and the universe), but he's morally right for calling them out.

Do not consult any part of the political spectrum for scientific truth.
