Careful with your use of the word creationism. I guess you mean it in the sense of the very vague and general claim that “god created the universe”, but in my experience it is used to refer to a much more specific set of claims, such as “the Earth is about 6000 years old”, which is absolutely not compatible with science.


According to Wikipedia: 'Creationism is the religious belief that nature, and aspects such as the universe, Earth, life, and humans, originated with supernatural acts of divine creation.'.

I choose my words carefully. I get what you're saying though, but I think that's more of a subjective matter.
