"Creationist," as used here, indicates someone who believes in a literal interpretation of the first six or seven chapters of Genesis (at least up through the Flood) and consequently sees evolution as the Devil's attempt to draw souls away from God. There are maybe a handful of creationists on these threads.

Note, I don't lump folks like medved in with creationists even though ol' Ted is virulently anti-evolution. I consider him and others like him to be in the same category as folks who think flouridation of the water supply is a communist plot.

Thanks. You're the first person to answer this question. I've asked it at least 10 times in various crevo threads.

I define creationist broader than that. "Creationist", to me, is anyone who believes a person of some kind was involved in the origin of the species.

According to my definition, Medved is an outlier subspecies of creationist.

A total and blatant lie. Evolutionists call any Christian who disagrees with their theory a 'creationist' even if the person in no way claims to believe the earth was created 6000 years ago or not. In addition to which not to believe that God is The Creator is a denial of Christianity itself. The Bible is totally meaningless if God is not The Creator.

I, and I think many others, use the term far more broadly (e.g young-earth v.s. old-earth creationists). In fact IMO it's possible to be a creationist and evolutionist.
