→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 bristle at the application of these terms to themselves. 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]]).
