Gore believes humans were created by God in their present form.
He does not believe in theistic evolution of humans.
Someone can believe in the evolution of humans while also believing that humans, in their present form, were created by God in His image. That's why the poll you mentioned earlier presented some rather poorly worded options, but as far as Al Gore is concerned, he clearly believes in evolutionary science as well as a very old age of the universe (seen
An Inconvenient Truth?, which I am aware you regard as junk science). I think it's quite reasonable to assume that he does believe in the evolution of humans, as a matter of scientific practicality / necessity, and he is able to reconcile his religious views with that as many other theists do. It is not a difficult view to hold as long as one does not take the Bible absolutely literally.
Are you really going to suggest that because Gore believes humans were created 200,000 years ago instead of 6,000 years ago means he is not a young earth creationist?
Pay close attention to words - 'young earth' creationist means someone who thinks the earth is extremely young, somewhere in the ballpark of 6,000 to 10,000 years.
Al Gore cannot believe this, regardless of when he thinks
homo sapiens came into existence, simply because he makes it clear on many occasions that he agrees with the scientific consensus when it comes to the age of the earth - billions of years old, not thousands.
