No, Creationism by any name would be false, because evolution and creationism cannot both be true. Savvy?
Most "savvy" Evos I know are quick to distance their theory from origin of life or origin of the universe problems.
Are you new to the game?

It's not the opinion, it's the attitude behind the opinion.

Continental drift, for example, has been proven. I don't believe that the East Coast of South America fits in to the West Coast of Africa because "God" wished it, I believe it happened because the Continents drifted apart. Yes, it contradicts Creationist beliefs. But Creationism cannot be proven.
No, I'm not new to anything that I publicly participate in, be it chess or atheism.

========================================
How do you differentiate between which kind of evolution theory you are speaking about ? Or do you just put it all under that heading of Evolution ?
Do you believe that the material univese always existed from eternity?
If not what do you imagine that the very first instance of Natural Selection was? How did that work?

I don't know why continental drift should give me reason to believe that there was no intelliegence involved in the creating of the earth.
