I recommend that anyone seriously interested in looking at all sides of this argument to check out anything by Dr. Hugh Ross. He is a brilliant astro-physicist and author and he takes a look at creation and evolution from a scientist's perspective. His book "The Genesis Question" is highly readable and informative. More information on Dr. Ross can be found at www.reasons.org.
Here's the problem for strict Creationists versus Evolutionary Creationists.
If Creationist tomorrow woke up and found God was omnipotent enough to use evolution as the process of Creation, would Creationists reject that God? Or if through other non-devine means they found evolution was the process, would they then consider themselves a-theists and go on a suicidal rampage of rape and destruction?
If an Evolutionary Creationist, on the other hand, found out God had used spontaneous creation as the mechanism 6000 years ago, I think all we would say is, WOW, He sure threw us a curveball with those clues of evolution and dinosaurs, but that doesn't really change our belief in God.
I just think the Creationists are so tied up in their absolute belief that should they find out otherwise they would become mentally unstable.
