Does this sort of thing fall under the "truth in labeling" act?

Sorry for any inconvenience, BB! I wasn't sure if you knew how most of the world defines creationism. The list of disbeliefs you cited would disqualify you only as a YEC.

Day-Agers still claim Genesis as literal truth, but insist that the six days of creation correspond to long periods of earth's history. Old-Earthers (OECs) often abandon literal Genesis interpretation but will insist that creation was some unspecified number of miracle events with only natural processes operating in-between. OECs still generally deny macroevolution and/or any non-human ancestry for humans. An ID-ist is any of the preceding (YEC, Day-Ager, OEC) being cagey about why he's doing what he's doing.

The only definition of creationism as far as evolutionists go is a Christian who disagrees with evolution - regardless of their denomination. Creationism is an evolutionist insult similar to the homosexual lobby's use of homophobe for anyone who opposes their agenda.

Like all tyrants evolutionists use strawmen to demean opponents and tar all of them with the brush of the few who share the most easily attackable positions. Also by doing this they seek to both divide the opposition and offer some of the opponents a hand by saying 'come to my way and you will be a good guy too, we are not against your beliefs, just against the extremists on your side'. Of course as they write off a small minority, they start expecting more compliance with their views and it is they who become more extreme. At first Darwin hid his atheism. Modern spokesmen for evolution no longer hide it. So what they are offering is really a slow descent into atheism and those who oppose their agenda and try to prevent others from going down those loathsome stairs they tar and feather with the opprobious title of creationists.
