The Word Evolutionists

It's become an annoyance for me to put up with peers (other people that want to become ministers that I happen to be in contact with) saying stupid things like 'oh, but you're an evolutionist so I guess that doesn't apply to you'.It may not bother an atheist or agnostic. Heck, a typical theistic evolutionist would have no trouble by it, but slap on a minister robe and everybody wants your ass on a platter for it.I'm supposed to be setting an example, so what would I want to exemplify for people? Someone who takes things on faith despite evidence? I could look up to that, but that's not who I am even though I admire the faith of those who can; a large part of me is convinced that they're right. However, I've always been the 'take it apart and see how it works' so I can't ignore things like that. With that in mind, I'm an 'evilutionist' despite my future profession.That really gets me goin' sometimes. A small number of people say they would never 'lower themselves' to listening to a preacher that is a 'follower' of evolution and not God.Don't get me wrong, I know a lot of tolerant Creationists; much more than intolerant ones that rant about science on internet forums .
But that still doesn't change the fact that being called an evolutionist gets my temper going; and so you can count one offended 'evolutionist'.
