That's an issue that I had trouble with when it came to the 9th commandment. Is it lying if you honestly believe what you are saying?
What you are saying is a lie because it is something that is not true, but I wouldn't say that you yourself are lying, because you believed it true.
But I say, in this case, creationism is more of an opinion than belief (though they're very close to each other). It's a theory (if you could call it that), and not taken as a fact. So could it be a lie or be true? We don't know if it is a lie or if it is true because it is simply an opnion. An ignorant opinion, but an opinion noneoftheless. Can an opinion be judged true or false, in this case?
