Are the two camps talking the same language in terms of reliability of evidence?
Of course not. I recently read a book I got from the library on creation science written by a creationist (or a creation scientist as he proclaimed himself to be). In the first paragraph of his introduction, he stressed the point that whatever evidence we stumble upon, we always have to consider how it can be interpreted for creation theory because, as creationists, "we" believe with our soul and heart that the bible is the eternal true word of god the almighty. Does this sound like an introduction that a real scientist would write?

Disclaimer:
Occasionally, owing to the deficiency of the English language, I have used he/him/his meaning he or she/him or her/his or her in order to avoid awkwardness of style.
He, him, and his are not intended as exclusively masculine pronouns. They may refer to either sex or to both sexes!
