Are JW's "Creationists"?

[Arauna]

Creationists believe the 6 days were 24 hour days.  As I showed earlier - we believe these days were periods of time...because all 6 creative days are referred to as "a day" in the Bible.  This is a major difference.  For people who are so nit-picky on small details of the ancient history of Russell -  you are pretty neglectful when it comes to attention to these kind of details.

Creationists believe that God created the universe and everything in it as described in the Bible. Whether you are a 'young earth' creationist (in the '6 days/24 hours' camp) or an 'old earth' creationist (in the 'day = epoch' camp), you are still a creationist.

Label people - and you can dismiss their ideas.  You may label us as part of the creationists so you can dismiss us as 'the same' but we do not lump ourselves together with people who believe the creation was completed in 24 hour days.

One cannot limit the scope of a word describing a belief because some believers disagree with others' ideas about that belief.

Is calling people 'evolutionists' labeling people to dismiss their ideas?

There are 'theistic evolutionists' (who believe God used evolution to create life) and 'atheistic evolutionists' (who believe evolution occurred on its own through natural processes) but despite their different outlooks on evolution, both camps are still evolutionists.

[Arauna]

The theistic ones who believe in evolution are definitely not adherents of the Bible....the Bible clearly shows that god made the first human pair complete and functioning....they did not start of as a pig.... (see my top quote about human flesh).  One cannot equate adaption to the environment as evolution.  Darwin's finches - were still finches...the species did not change...only the beaks did....
