But, apparently using this term to some (read 'evolutionists') is like waving a red flag in front of a bull.
What do I mean? you ask.
Well, according to a recent article on the Answers In Genesis website, using the term, "Young Earth Creationist" is --
"To evolutionists, a person claiming this title is akin to saying, “I’m an anti-science mystic.” To Christians who have compromised with naturalistic presuppositions, young-earth creation implies just one more opinion on the earth’s beginning."
Additionally, AIG suggests that there is a better term that should be used which will not wave the red flag.
That 'better' term, they suggest, is "I'm a Biblical Creationist".
In a very interesting article they explain why folks who are "Young Earth Creationists" might consider using the term "Biblical Creationist" instead.
