Question: Just pick the answer you are closest to
#1
Young Earth Creationist - The world was created by a/some god(s), sometime in the last 10,000 years, in a short amount of time. Evolution is heresy.
#2
Old Earth Creationist - Scientists are roughly correct about the age of the earth, but evolution did not happen. A/some god(s) created each species at certain times in history from dust or similar.
#3
Progressive Creationist - Scientists are roughly correct about the age of the earth, and species did develop from previous species, but no actual evolution is present. A/some god(s) created new species out of parts of previous species without natural sele
#4
Theistic Evolutionist - Scientists are roughly correct about the age of the earth, and natural selection did happen to a point. However, A/some god(s) guided the process throughout with a clear end goal in mind and did some of the "evolution" on

4.5ish, in that I have the strong suspicion--but no real theological argument, yet--that this is in some way a false dichotomy.

I actually agree with this entirely. 4 and 5 can both be true - they would just reflect different levels of truth.

Obviously, the level of truth to which 4 refers bears no relevance to a science class.

The closest one to my views is Progressive Creationism. I believe in natural selection and that God created all general animals as they are now, but God created things like one canine, one feline, and through natural selection guided them to where they are now. I believe humanity was created as is.

That is one of the stupidest applications of moderate hero logic I've ever seen. Right on par with the XKCD cartoon on 9/11.
