That would not suprise me in the slightest after reading this:

"I don't pretend to understand how this phenomenon
works, any more than I understand how the dynamo at the Earth's center
started to generate a magnetosphere, or how or why the Earth started to spin
in the first place."

With the emphasis on the "not knowing how or why the Earth started to spin"-- he
acts like conservation of angular momentum is some sort of weird mystery-- which
is Insane Clown Logic:

(Unlike his stance on the possibility on extraterrestrial life, which is just
classic Insane Troll Logic
