Open Creationist

So Curtis and I are officially Open Creationist now. I'm enthusiastically one more so than him, but who's not up for a little irony?

So what's an Open Creationist? As TolkienFan has explained:

It's a rather simple position. Originally founded as Apathetic Creationism, the idea behind the position is that those who hold the view don't really concern themselves much with protology. The Open Creationist holds that it was indeed God who created all things, but they express openness (or in my case, apathy) towards exactly how long it took or how it was done. The OC holds to the idea that Christian Soteriology (an issue such as those at AiG connect with protology) can be properly maintained regardless of protological view. Hence, they don't really concern themselves much with the debate and remain open (or in my case, apathetic). As you can see, it's a very simple position with very few tenets.(Source)

Research lead me to conclude that the movement found at least initial public exposure on this thread, including acquiring its current name.

Now, obviously this belief is compatible with a number of other doctrines, including: Theistic Evolution, Young Earth Creationism, Old Earth Creationism, and Intelligent Design. It seems incompatible though with a wide variety of viewpoints which would be agnostic or deny the notion of a Creator.

The question you need to ask yourself is, do you really care?
