I would ask that someone go through this article and seperate YEC from Creationism.  YEC is a branch of Creationism, but not the whole.  In fact, I would say that YEC is a fringe group and thus all statements which go roughly "This is how Creationists argue [something]" should be replaced with "This is how Young Earth Creationists/Young Earthers/YECs argue [something]" before you give people the wrong impression.  It is bad enough that Wikipedia does this, does conservapedia has to do it too?

:You are correct that YEC is a "branch" of creationism, not the whole, but I disagree that it's just a fringe group, and I'd also argue that ''many'' people use "creationism" and its variations as synonymous with YEC.

:Of the main creationist organisations (CMI, ICR, CRS, AiG, Hovind's organisation, the North West Creationist Group (if I recall the name correctly; I'm in a hurry) and RTB, all except the last are YEC.  YEC is also the historical (pre-Hutton/Darwin/etc.) view.
