On the current usage of the term "creationist" as applied to ID

@Timothy_Horton

You cherry-picked one narrow definition of “creationist” then made the ridiculous claim that was the only proper usage of the word.

That’s being too generous with Eddie. For instance, here is one of the examples @Eddie used, which he thinks demonstrates the use of the word “Creationism” that he endorses:

@Eddie

Eugenie Scott, National Center for Science Education , The Creation/Evolution Continuum | National Center for Science Education

“Many — if not most — Americans think of the creation and evolution controversy as a dichotomy with “creationists” on one side, and “evolutionists” on the other.”

[Eddie’s Note (to avoid charges of out-of-context quoting): It must be added that Scott goes on to indicate that she wishes this were not the case; nonetheless, she starts out by describing what is the case, regarding current usage.]

Eddie seems to think that, on the basis of this quote, Scott places Michael Behe on the same side of that divide as the “evolutionists.” Isn’t that just hilarious?
