WARNING: Crazy train off the tracks!
Evolution doesn't pretend to tell us about the social sciences.
The creationists who call other people "evolutionists" would like us to believe that strawman so that evolution can be wrong.

- Geezus_42 3y agoThat's not "internet culture war bullshit." Creationist have been finding ways to manipulate scientific discoveries to make it sound like they disprove evolution since Darwin published Origin of Species (1859).
- arp242 3y agoThere are no creationists in sight here. Obsessing and bad faith assumptions over the usage of a single word like this that is absolutely is internet culture war bullshit and completely toxic behaviour that's almost exclusively seen on the internet.
- sheepshear 3y agoIt should be obvious what "evolutionist" means considering that it's explained in the sentence you quoted starting immediately after the word. If anything, it seems like you might actually want creationists to own the word. Crazy warning, indeed.
