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.

Actually — no, “creationism” has a very specific definition: creationism - Definition from the Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary.

: a doctrine or theory holding that matter, the various forms of life, and the world were created by God out of nothing and usually in the way described in Genesis
