"I believe God created life and that evolution was the process he used."
By these statements I take it that you define 'creationism' rather narrowly as believing that God created everything in 6 earth days about 6,000 years ago?
I would say there are probably a lot of people out there who don't believe exactly and only that but consider themselves creationists. (In fact, I'd consider you to be one.)
It gets tiresome using and explaining the term YEC.
I don't know of anyone posting on these threads who would deny the possibility that creation was rigged to produce life. This, however, is not something that science can decide, unless we find something like a pretty picture embedded in some mathematical constant.
Creationists are anti-science. I am not.
I believe in God as Creator, but am not so arrogant as to tell him how to do it.
