I'll stick with my definition of creationist as one who denies Darwin's theory of evolution (and inevitably all other science as well).

First of all, the Creationists get to define what they are, not the evolutionists! A Creationist is not defined by what they are against but rather what they are for. A Creationist believes life and the universe was created by God. As was explained by others on this thread, there are many secondary beliefs and varieties of Creationist "camps" based on differing beliefs in how and when things were created. Most Creationists do believe that man was instantly created but may not all agree on exactly when and may not agree on the age of the earth. Most Creationists have no problem with science itself but just do not accept the philosopy of macro-evolution.

Do evolutionists get to define what they are?
