I don't know anything about that person in particular. Most people who identify themselves as creationists don't ascribe to the Young Earth Theory and certainly don't believe that anyone who doesn't isn't really a Christian.
Incorrect, in fact. Most people who *self identify* as 'creationists' DO subscribe (because we're using the English language by choosing words that are appropriate to context not just ones that may sound somewhat similar) to Young Earth creationism.

Seriously? It's not my fault that I apparently posses a greater vocabulary than you, but the word ascribe means:
as·cribe
verb (used with object), as·cribed, as·crib·ing.
1. to credit or assign, as to a cause or source; attribute; impute: The alphabet is usually ascribed to the Phoenicians.
2. to attribute or think of as belonging, as a quality or characteristic: They ascribed courage to me for something I did out of sheer panic.
the word subscribe on the other hand:
sub·scribe
verb (used with object), sub·scribed, sub·scrib·ing.
1. to pledge, as by signing an agreement, to give or pay (a sum of money) as a contribution, gift, or investment: He subscribed $6,000 for the new church.
2. to give or pay in fulfillment of such a pledge.
3. to append one's signature or mark to (a document), as in approval or attestation of its contents.
4. to attest by or as by signing.
5. to append, as one's signature, at the bottom of a document or the like; sign.
Funny that you corrected me by insisting that I should use an incorrect word that's commonly misused as the correct one that I used. But hey. You just keep on truckin'!
