True, in creationists' minds "evolution" means anything in conventional science which is contrary to their particular interpretation of their particular holy scripture. So, physics has to be reinterpreted or rejected if is the basis of dating methods which show an earth and universe more than 10,000 years old. Astronomy and cosmology have to be reinterpreted or rejected if they evidence a universe more than 10,000 years old. Geology has to be reinterpreted or rejected if it evidences an earth more than 10,000 years old or is inconsistent with a Noachian flood. Paleontology has to be reinterpreted or rejected if it shows evidence of the transition of past living organisms beyond the created "kinds". Biology has to be reinterpreted or rejected if it evidences the common ancestry of man and all living organisms and fails to place man at the apex of creation.
Creationists long for the certainties of the past - where the answer to any enquiry was goddunit. They would prefer to sacrifice the knowledge and responsibility which has been placed in man's hands through scientific endeavour and revert to an unquestioning dark ages mindset.
I only wish that creationists would put their faith where their words are and forego modern "evolutionary" medicine and rely on faith healing. I'm sure it would readily solve the problem.

John, well said. I concur. It seems to me passing strange that creationists pick and choose the bits of science which they want (which might offer some support for their religious views) whilst denying the validity of any part of science which conflicts with their religious beliefs.
Why don't creationists simply rely on faith and their scriptural readings to cure their medical conditions? It is the ultimate authority for them on all matters.
