Creationistic

/kriːeɪʃənˈɪstɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to or characteristic of creationism or creationists.

Etymology

From 'creationist' plus '-ic' (Greek -ikos, forming adjectives). This adjectival form allows description of beliefs, arguments, or perspectives aligned with creationism.

Kelly Says

Adding '-istic' instead of just '-ic' makes the word sound more like a formal academic descriptor, which is clever because it makes creationism sound scientifically rigorous even though it's actually a theological position.
