For A Jewish Conversion To Be Valid, Do You Have To Believe In Creationism?

David Kelsey comments: If the haredim believe that the only reason to convert is out of sincere belief, and if we also agree that the haredim believe that it is too easy to convert today, as witnessed by numerous attempts to “standardize” conversion, then: Is not the haredi demand that converts must believe the world is less than 6,000 years old really just an attempt to restrict the one legitimate pathway for conversion by mandating the candidate and the rabbinic court that converts them must believe in absolute nonsense for the conversion to be valid?
