>>As I said in a previous post, I am new on the net and am somewhat
confused
on the use of some terms. For instance, am a creationist if I believe
that
there is a Creator but have not committed myself to a particular view on
how
the Creator brought the universe into being?

On the ASA web site, there is a page called WORDS.TXT, which is a
compendium of terminology developed by several of us a year or so ago on
a Compuserve Forum.

It may help.

The term "Creationist" is usually taken to refer to one holding the YEC
position of ICR. Then there is "Old-earth Creationist" and, in your case,
"Uncommitted-as-to-time frame Creationist." Awkward? Of course.
