== evolutionISM and creationISM ==
1990'sguy, you're right about these terms. The usage should be symmetrical. And I've always been bothered by the term "evolutionist" or "evolutionism" (though Cons likes them). Though people who accept Biblical creation don't seem as bothered by being called "creationists" as I am about being called an "evolutionist".
The problem was that "creation" is much more likely to be considered ambiguous than "evolution", so people put the "ism" on it. But, after giving it some thought, I'm convinced that, in the context of articles like this, no one is going to think "evolution" refers to mathematical graphs, and no one is going to think "creation" refers to web sites.
I assume people are OK with my usage of the word "Biblical". I don't think that anyone who believes that the universe came into being 6000 years ago believes that for any reason other than that it's in the Bible. Feel free to take that word out if you think I'm overusing it.
