Along those lines, I think that the term “Creationist” as we use it here is not widely understood in the same way we understand it.

In a broad use of the word, a “creationist” is one who believes God created the world ….. which would encompass the beliefs of most Christians and Jews ….. hell, even Muslims.

As we use it here, it refers to those who believe in Young Earth Creationism, or that the world was created as it is now at some point in the past and that these things are antithetical to Evolution.

I think we need to be careful, as you suggest, to observe what a person actually says about his beliefs or does with them before condemning him with the latter definition.

But for him to state that a question on evolution was a religious question, as he did, strongly indicates that he is a creationist in the latter sense.
