I would define "creationism" has having four main tenets, namely 1.) as applying to the universe, that it came into being "out of nothing," 2.) as applying to the biosphere, that species observed today were created separately and have by and large remained as such from the time they were created, 3.) as applying to the process, that it involved six literal days after which no new heaven or earth was created, and 4.) as applying to the cause, that the agent of this creation is a personal being of infinite power and intellect who continues to sustain the creation.

FWIW, I would not count those who believe evolution was "created" in order to facilitate the balance of creation as "creationists." You could lump me in the second group.

* Those in favor of the "broad" definition of "Creationism" (God did it, maybe evolution, maybe not)

* Those in favor of the "narrow" definition of "Creationism" (God did it via "poof")
