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.

I think we need to get down to the truely important question.
WHY AM I STILL DESIGNATED A "JUNIOR MEMBER"?
KP and LVB (amongst others) have been here for shorter lengths of time and have lower message posting counts.
I sense discrimination against people with geology degrees.
E-mailed Percy this question a few days ago.
