> If you're talking about the Biblical interp of Creationism I would disagree. If you're talking about "6 days and God said 'poof' and that was it" then yes, I would go with you.

The two are not distinct. When one says "Creationism," one is almost invariably referring to the obsolete notion that God said "poof." The other meaning you seem to attach to the word is not often called "Creationism," instead the idea is known as "theological evolutionism." I.E. God created the diversity of life on Earth via the physical process of evolution. Few evolutionists would take issue with this stance. Many Creationists would, however, and would gleefully declare anyone who held that view to be Biblically flawed.

Theological Evolutionism, Intellegent Design, Creationism. Identical in my eyes and most of my friends who claim "creationist" standings. Evolution is admissable in all camps I'm aware of.
