What is "creationism" ?

Not all Creationists believe that Genesis should be taken literally: Some believe that the world and life on it evolved as described by science, and that God simply "flipped the first domino" so to speak (for the record I am not one of these people, being a athiest). The ones who think Genesis should be taken literally and that the Earth is less than 10,000 years old are known as Young Earth Creationists, or YECs. These are almost always bible-thumping Christian fundimentalists, who think the rest of the Bible should be taken literally as well.
