"So, I'll go on using the term, Darwinism, and quite properly so."

And you'll continue to be an idiot if you do. Just out of curiosity, I looked up the etymology of "Darwinism". It turns out that the word has no relationship to the Charles Darwin scientific idea of the origin of species by "survival of the fittest", but was actually coined to describe the philosophical ideas of ERASMUS Darwin, which is what you creationists are actually making war on. I suggest you leave the science to the scientists, and stick learn some philosophy.

First error: You have no references just a statement you make.

Second error: I am not a creationist.

Third error: Several searches gave C. Darwin as the source of “Darwinism” as did ‘The Online Etymology Dictionary’.

Fourth error: Calling me an idiot.

Darwinism is correct for the Darwin's evolution theory and hence I will continue to use.

Where did you look it up?

Is it from a commonly accepted source?

Are there other sources who list the "evo" meaning as a secondary, vernacular usage?

(...and how old is the source, anyway? Languages change -- I thought I read that "blogging" recently was added to the Oxford Unabridged...)

Cheers!
