Whaat?!? Creationism is about a supernatural creator of the universe and man. Theism is about the existence of god—sometimes an interventionist god. They are different concepts. Theism is typically a broader concept than creationism—since you can believe in a god that answers prayers without also believing that she created the universe.
The inaccurate conclusion that I have these concepts muddled together seems to be without a basis in anything I have said. I do not know where you are getting it from :-(
I’m getting it from the fact that (as I said earlier) you’ve taken a statement about “creationists” and disputed it on the basis that the corresponding statement with “theists” in place of “creationists” is false.
Right—well, leaving aside the whole issue that I did no such thing, that appears to be some faulty logic you have there—creationists are theists (if you believe that god created the universe and man, you at least believe in god) - but not all theists are creationists.
