> So you insist that every mention of 'creationism' actually be 'Creation Theory', then?

To be accurate, it would be "Creation Myth." "Theory" is wholly inapplicable to religious dogma.

One last time: you need to realize that most scientific principles are "theories" because to prove them would take many centuries, or in the case of Big Bang Theory, billions and billions of years. I agree that the current state of data does indicate that the Big Bang Theory is how the universe came into existence, but since it would take so long to prove it, it is still called a theory. Get it?

:-D

But for purposes of this discussion, the folks on the other side of the debate do feel it's a valid "theory". And I'm avoiding that topic, which is not really on this point. Instead, I'm trying to stay focused on the issue of 'requiring a specific wording every time a concept is referenced, regardless of context'.
