→"Evolutionist": Agree except for "evolutionism"
I realize it has become somewhat of a fad of late, especially in wiki, that this is a derogatory term. Wiki prefers the use the term "scientists" since they believe scientists = evolutionists. Thankfully, of course, we are not wiki and can use terms with their actual meaning. "Evolutionism" is the term that is viewed as derogatory, and I would agree we should limit that for that reason, but evolutionist is simply descriptive and not only shouldn't we shy away from the term, but we should embrace it as the appropriate choice.

:I don't agree that "evolutionism" is derogatory, and evolutionists are quite happy to use "creationism", so why not the equally-descriptive "evolutionism"? Otherwise, I agree with you. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 10:33, 9 July 2007 (EDT)
