Believe me, I've looked at the arguments from both sides (I almost became an evolutionist too) and I believe creationism/christianity is quite logical. And I'd rather go to the grave thinking I'll go to heavan then going to the grave and be wrong about it (i.e. going to hell).
Ah, Pascal's Wager:
Let us weigh the gain and the loss in wagering that God is... If you gain, you gain all; if you lose, you lose nothing. Wager, then, without hesitation that He is.
I'm personally unconcerned. The physicist and author Gregory Benford had one of his characters say, "God and Heaven exist, or they don't, regardless of our belief or disbelief." That pretty much sums it up for me. I doesn't matter if either exists. I exist in the here and now. I'll worry about those other things when I'm no longer in the here and now.
I do believe, however, after reading more of this guy's work and reviewing relativity theory, his idea about dilated time in an inflationary universe explainging six day creation is, indeed, nuts. His idea hinges upon a very important mistake: It requires a universal reference frame.
-- If you accept that there is no universal reference frame (as relativity theory shows), then this man's theory cannot work.
-- If you accept that relativity theory is wrong (and there IS a universal reference frame), then this man's theory doesn't have any scientific basis and cannot work.
Either way, the guy's theory falls down pretty hard based on his own proof.
