Honestly I don't know if I've ever met a "Darwinist". This seems an ill-defined, and manufactured term without any real operational definition.
I use the term as one of derision.
"Honestly I don't know if I've ever met a "Darwinist". "
That's because there are no "Darwinists." Nobody identifies himself as a "Darwinist," particularly in the scientific disciplines.
Darwin was the founder of the science of evolutionary theory, certainly, but his writings are primarily of historical interest these days.
About the only people who use the word "Darwinist" are those who are attempting to discredit the Theory of Evolution. They use it in the same way people use other incorrect terminology when they try to discredit something. It's so transparent.
Yeah, Biology is like that - except for biochemistry, of course. Once you get up to the organism level it just ain't the same kind of science that chemistry or physics are.
Shalom.
