As I pointed out (all in good fun of course) in an earlier post.

"Creationism" is a word that carries a broad brush. I worked with a guy a long time ago who was fixed on the idea that not only was everything created by God, but that it happened only a few thousand years ago. There's an entire subculture wrapped around this.

But the vast majority of religious believers don't fall into that category. Most believe that God or whoever had some role in the creation and maintenance of the world, but have no problems with the Earth being billions of years old or even evolution as a process.

It's odd that this kind of irrational belief can label someone instantly as a person not to be taken seriously on any subject, but other commonly-held bizarre beliefs on economics, foreign policy, or even science, don't seem to carry the same stigma.
