I gave you a succinct definition of "creation". Ism is a suffix to imply the adherence to a doctrine or system of principles, a state or condition,an act of said principle, the practice of said principle.

Why do you make this harder than it needs to be? I defined creation in a very classical manner. You have derrided those who are adherents to one of (I suspect creatio ex nihilo) the theories of creation. I have not, in this thread said which view I hold, although I suppose you divined my view when you referenced "Creationists generally are lacking in that ability....". I am an extemely straight talking person.

Extremely straight talking? LOL You gave three definitions of creationism, creatio ex nihilo, creatio ex deo, and creatio ex materia. Are you claiming that all three definitions are equivalent? Is there a reason why you aren't stating which one you believe in?

Are you deliberately trying not to provide a straight answer or are you unable to provide a straight answer? Either way you are providing evidence for my original statement.
