I wonder why they never seem to be willing to just make it *creationists* instead instead of forcing it into such a narrowly defined segment that few indeed (if any) fall into it?

Who are the "non-biblical" creationists?

The narrow YEC line is a small subset of creationists that I believe metmom was referring to. There are other interpretations of Genesis 1 that don’t require solar days before there was a sun.

It’s the literalist part and you know it.

Evos would have a lot harder time ridiculing and mocking creationists who are old earth creationists or not *Bible literalists* in an attempt to disparage their views.

Besides, taking the creation account literally, which some do, does not equate with taking the whole Bible literally, which I don’t know of anybody who does. It’s intellectually dishonest to make that conjecture.

There are other religions who have creation accounts, but you knew that, too.
