Let me clarify.

I do not trust the judgement of the people who DO deny observable facts. For example, I do not trust the judgement of people who DO claim that the earth is actually 6000 years old, with the reason being that it says so in the Bible. There are methods for measuring the ages of things that show this to be false.

I do not trust the judgement of people who DO claim that all livings things were created in the exact form that they hold now, with the reason being that it says so in the Bible. There are fossils that show this to be false.

If someone wants to characterize themselves as a "creationist" but doesn't deny observable fact then I don't have a problem with their judgement. For example, if a person believes in intelligent design as the ultimate driver of evolution but accepts the actual facts that point to the age of the earth and that life has evolved over time, then I have no problem with that person's judgement at all. They are not necessarily a scientist, but they do not close their eyes to observable fact.

I would have a problem if they felt that thier personal belief should be taught as science, because their belief it is not rooted in the method of science.
