Hi MHC, I believe that there are so many facets to the word evolutionist, but the word creationist pretty much describes a person who believes in the accounts of Genesis in the bible. This board would not exist if not for the distinct opposing beliefs of how the Earth came to be. A creationist must show evolution to be false because the TOE is in direct opposition to the mythology of the Old Testament. If the accounts of Genesis are not literally factual how many other things in that book come into question. It is a house of cards. I know personally people who absolutely will not budge on the creation account in the bible. They do not want to hear about evidence or fossil records or geological data. I have been on this board since Feb this year and can not tell you how many creos came and left in a huff after hearing compelling arguments in favor of evolution. Rather than accept the evidence and data many choose to either ignore it or claim it is a satanic ploy to steer them away from they're faith. So as far as a rival religion I would say that anything that does not agree with the creation accounts will be met with scorn and labled as blasphemy.
