That is not the definition of creationist used in this debate.

Creationist means what it means. If you mean something else, then I suggest you make that clear in your ranting. Your statement is false. Now way around it. Go whine somewhere else.

What word would you like used to characterize those who reject those parts of mainstream science that contradict their creationist religious beliefs? To put it another way, how should those of us who the "???'s" refer to as "evolutionists" describe our rhetorical opponents? (I can think of a few other ideas, but I'd get banned from FR ;) )

Personally I think you are just trying to score a debating point with this particular issue. You know full well that within these debates "creationist" is used as a convenient label for those modern people who reject mainstream scientific interpretation of the evidence (almost always because they feel that their religion requires them to). Just as the invented word "evolutionists" is used for those on the other side. The debates are even referred to as crevo debates.
