One must remember that the debate here is (mostly) polarized as being between the science perspective and the FUNDIMENTALIST CREATIONIST perspective. There are vast numbers of people that have more moderate creationist views. See my "Theological Evolution" topic.
In the context of this debate, however, "creationist" is generally used to mean "fundimentalist creationist".
To KP, in regards to a question elsewhere:
YEC means young earth creationist, which is more or less one and the same as fundimentalist creationist.
If you identify yourself as a creationist, the assumption is that you are a fundimentalist YEC, unless you make it clear otherwise.
Unfortunately,these "moderate" creationists are usually viewed as even greater threats to the YEC movement by its proponents that evolutionists because,in their opinion,the "moderates" should know better and their actions and views often get them labeled as traitors to Christ.
