I'll stop using the term Darwinist or Darwinism when the Darwinists stop referring to me as a creationist and/or a fundamentalist, etc.

How does that work on a collective/individual basis? Do you refer to anyone who believes ToE is plausible as a "Darwinist" as long as there's one person who calls you a "creationist"?

The authors of the article made this statement:

“At best, the phrase is ambiguous and misleading about science. At worst, its use echoes a creationist strategy to demonize evolution.”

Fair is fair, if the authors can use the broad brush so can I. So why not call the ToE true believers Darwinist as long their leading spokesmen call me something I am not.

Or are the ToE followers getting ready toss Darwin back into the primordial soup?

Far more than one FRevo calls any non-evo a creationist.

Matter of fact, the tendency is to take anyone who does not hold to the hardline, naturalistic no-God allowed position on the ToE and cram them into a flat earth, heliocentric, 6 day, 6,000 year YEC, Bible literalist box and then mock and ridicule them regardless of what their position is.

Oh, and let's not forget the *any challenge to the ToE is not scientific, it's religious apologetics* label.
