They don’t like the idea that one theory might be “better” than another - in particular that their theory (say creationism) is at the receiving end of judgement calls (now, I use quotes for “better” and other judgement words, because these all imply a criteria, which I will withhold getting into until called for). (Also, liberals have the same idea too in a different sense, it seems - they don’t, per popular depiction of them, want kids to be ranked by skill or performance in some test. They are ridiculed for wanting everyone to be a winner.).

I am not sure I know. I guess a value judgement involves value terms: “good”, “bad”, “beautiful”, “ugly”. There are perhaps other kinds of judgement, that are *objective*: “sour”, “drunk”, “dead”…
