By "creationism" we are referring to the Biblical story of creation, not to a generic creation myth. So IF you believe in God, and therefore the WORD of God is infallible AND that the Bible IS the word, then you would have to believe in the Judeo-Christian version of creation....to the exclusion of every other creation story. That's alotta IFs. I think the point is also that Pascal's Wager can work in other ways. If I have some doubt that reincarnation is real, but I want to maximize my potential gain in the next life just in case it is real, then I should adopt the principles of acting in this life as if my objective is always to insure a higher birth in the next life. If the Christian fundies don't act the same way and it turns out they're wrong about reincarnation, they're in deep shit.
