How is this definition of "creationist" any different than that of "Christian"?

Why overload the word "creationist" with a meaning that is equivalent to "Christian"?

> The people I believe you're referencing are usually called "Young Earth Creationists".

Century Dictionary (1897) defines creationism in this sense as "The doctrine that matter and all things were created, substantially as they now exist, by the fiat of an omnipotent Creator, and not gradually evolved or developed." [...] Creationist (n.) in an "anti-Darwin" sense is attested by 1859 in a letter of Darwin's, and it is said to be used in Darwin's unpublished writings as far back as 1842.

It seems "Old Earth Creationism" either predates Darwin, or it's a more recent attempt to namesquat.
