evolution is under attack, not evolutionism
the problem is, evolutionism is a philosophy. evolution is the science. and it's not the philosophy that is trying to defend itself. Creationists (of your sort) aren't attacking the philosophy. You all are attacking the science, which is why evolution is defending itself.
​
my vote is with the current one, but then, I'm resistant to specific changes. perhaps if someone could give a reason for change?
​
(on a somewhat funny note, isn't odd how the creationists have launched this "pre-emptive attack", just like bushed launched his "pre-emptive attack" against Iraq? Neither iraq or evolution pose a direct threat, just a percieve one. so out goes the traditional american response of waiting to actually be attacked with the creationists. just my rambling, it's off topic, ignore it everyone)

Re: evolution is under attack, not evolutionism
I don't know if you caught what I'm saying.
​
what i said, in hopefully more clear terms, is this.
​
evolutionism = is a philosophy, not a science, and in fact, used by your crowd to discredit evolution :
the words evolutionist and evolutionism are widely used by creationists and others in the United States who are opposed to the theory of evolution; they use those two words to imply that the scientific community's attachment to the theory of evolution is a matter of religious faith and is just another -ism, not a matter of scientific proof
down towards the bottom
​
evolution = the theory, the science. it is not a philosophy.
​
In the EvC struggle, it is actually the theory, not the philosophy, that is under attack by your crowd. (for you all, the two are as one, which isn't true). Hence, the logo should read "evolution vs. creation".
​
I don't see why I should have to write an essay. It's not that difficult to explain and understand the evidence, so long as you can remain unbiased. (unless relying on physical evidence is a bias)
​
abe:
sorry jar. you posted you're warning while i was composing this post, so . . .
