Creationism is a theory - The belief that God created man and the Earth is the belief system - How he did it is the theory.

Creationism in the way the term is normally defined, posits a belief in God. Thusly, creationism is not a scientific theory.

"Creationism in the way the term is normally defined, posits a belief in God. Thusly, creationism is not a scientific theory."

The term Creationism refers to the way God created the world. Many evolutionists believe that God created the world using evolution. Under your theory, these would be Creationists. That's a little broad a brush to paint with.

I think we can all agree that the battle between Creationists and Evolutionists does not lie in whether or not they believe in intelligent design. The battle lies strictly in how it happened.
