The modern version of the [[theory of evolution]], based on Darwin's original theory, is sometimes called "[[Neo-Darwinism]]". Some people argue the terms 'Darwinism' and 'Neo-Darwinism' are inaccurate and/or pointless, as 'Darwinists' or 'Neo-Darwinists' are, basically, everyone who accepts the Theory of Evolution (with 'Neo-Darwinists' accepting the modern version, more commonly referred to as the 'modern evolutionary synthesis'), so to say that these people are 'Darwinists' would be like saying those who accept Newton's Laws of Motion or Thermodynamics are 'Newtonists', or those that accept the General Theory of Relativity are 'Einsteinists'.
