Don't know that you have a leg to stand on, Shimrod. No matter how hard you protest, "evolutionism" certainly seems to be a legitimate word. And most certainly, there are many who believe the Theory of Evolution to be true, to be factual. Certainly, belief in evolution can be called "evolutionism," as opposed to those who don't believe evolution to be true. The fact that you aver that it is not a legitimate word, does not make the word invalid. If Pete uses the word, people understand what he means.

Belief is most often based on evidence, whether you think so or not. The members of a jury weigh the evidence, then believe the defense or the prosecution.

Why do you people put so much faith in semantics? Don't you have anything of substance to talk about?
