Not all creationists are "young-earth" creationists.

I know that full-well, which I why I added the qualifer. I have plenty of respect for creationists (especially I.D. theorists), but those who insist on a young-earth are barking mad.

Ah. I apologize for the misinterpretation :-)

"but those who insist on a young-earth are barking mad."

The funny thing is that they aren't, really. To be sure, such a position requires twisting or ignoring wide swathes of well-accepted modern science, but is entirely consistent with a belief in an inerrant, literal, Bible. A belief which too many people hold to class them all as crazy, although I must admit I have trouble understanding it.
