===Usage of Terminology===

The terms ''evolutionist'' and ''evolutionism'' use the suffix ''-ism'', which is commonly used to designate varieties of philosophical opinion, and some people who use scientific grounds to support evolution prefer to use other terms. Others are happy to call themselves evolutionist, and the terms have been in common use for a century. There seems to be no such objection to the term ''anti-evolutionism''. This is all part of the controversy over evolution itself (see [[Origins debate]]).

Gould [http://www.stephenjaygould.org/library/gould_fact-and-theory.html]</ref> and his obituary read "Evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould dead".<ref>S.F.
