Kremer advocates Young Earth creationism and stated it as fact during a May 2017 Colleges and Universities Assembly committee hearing. PolitiFact called him out for falsely stating as a fact the age of the Earth at 6000 year, as opposed to stating that it was his belief,[6] leading to him being described as "a documented Christian extremist and an intellectually incompetent buffoon" by Michael Stone in his Progressive Secular Humanist blog on Patheos.[7]
