Therefore I'm sure I'll make errors in the future. If the errors I make are the same as the errors that a creationists makes then I'm not interested in since an error is an error. For that reason I will no longer respond to any post which contains the word "creationist." Thanks.
You just made a mistake. It's the fourth word in that quote.
There is no such thing as an 'evolutionist'
You don't call someone an Atomic-ist or Gravitational-ist or a relativity-ist etc.
I'm nit picking but us Darwinists need to get rid of these moronic labels! lol hahahaha
I've been really jazzed about learning more about evolution. Its one of my favorite areas of science. I just got back from the library and got several books on the subject. One of them is called What is Evolution by Ernst Mayr (2001). As you know Mayr is a big name in evolution circles. Mayr uses the term evolutionist in this book as well as the term evolutionism. I'm sure we all have better things to discuss than standard terminology. Feel free to correct me if I use a term that is not found in the dictionary. I'd be nice not to bother correcting spelling either since that goes against basic Internet ettique. Thanks.
