The word "creationist" is often used to express bigotry, which itself is a reason to discourage use of it.  But the term is also misleading because:
 +
 +
* it implies that either one is or is not a creationist, when in fact many lack a clearcut opinion
 +
* it implies that anyone who believes in creation is a creationist, when in fact the term doesn't mean that
 +
* it implies that it is a belief system rather than a logical and scientific conclusion
 +
 +
I suggest that Conservapedia stop using the term except where absolutely necessary.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 21:11, 26 December 2007 (EST)

Conservapedia uses the term "creationist" in 129 (now 128) entries, but the term seems to be imprecise and often used by adversaries in a pejorative manner.  It is sometimes by bigots or vandals.
