	Evolutionism - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science
		Evolutionism, from the Latin evolutio, unrolling, refers to the belief in theories that certain things develop or change as natural outgrowths of those that existed before.
		Idealist evolutionism is the position that all things have the natural tendency within them to develop toward their ideal form.
		Naturalistic evolutionism is the position that things do not have any natural tendency to develop toward a particular "form," but that they simply assume various forms as a result of impersonal natural laws such as random variation and natural selection.

		Since an evolutionism theory explains changes in terms of internal processes and the innate nature of atoms ((physics and chemistry) the smallest component of an element having the chemical properties of the element), generally an evolutionism theory has no role for divine intervention (additional info and facts about divine intervention).
		An early application of an evolutionism theory to biology was Charles Bonnet (additional info and facts about Charles Bonnet) 's 1762 assertion that each feature of the embryo was preformed in the parts; some of the parts came from the egg and some came from the sperm.
		Under this emerging usage, the term evolutionism specifically did not apply to either geological processes or to the origin of life as in abiogenesis (A hypothetical organic phenomenon by which living organisms are created from nonliving matter).

	NASA's Agenda:Promoting Copernicanism & Evolutionism
		Evolutionism embodies a single spiritual agenda, viz., disqualify and replace the Bible as the source of Truth.
		That Sagan was totally sold on the evolutionary explanation for all that exists is reflected in all his writings (the evolution of the human brain, little telescoping critters on the moon, his famous Cosmos TV series, etc.).
		Of course, Sagan's total commitment to evolutionism (in tandem with Biologist J. Gould at Harvard) was spread far and wide thru his TV Cosmos series and his books at the time computer technology was developing.

	Encyclopedia: Social evolutionism
		Social evolutionism evolved simoultanesly but independently of Darwin's works and was popular in the late 19th century to the end of World War II.
		Social Evolution(ism) also known as Cultural evolution(ism) or Socio-cultural evolution(ism) is a anthropological and sociological social theory that holds that societies and cultures progress through stages of increasing development, i.e.

		Sociocultural evolutionism was the prevailing theory of early sociocultural anthropology and social commentary, and is associated with scholars like August Comte, Edward Burnett Tylor, Lewis Henry Morgan, Benjamin Kidd, L.T. Hobhouse and Herbert Spencer.
		The term "Classical Social Evolutionism" is most closely associated with the 19th-century writings of Auguste Comte, Herbert Spencer (who coined the phrase "survival of the fittest") and William Graham Sumner.
		While 19th-century evolutionism explained how culture develops by giving general principles of its evolutionary process, it was dismissed by the Historical Particularists as unscientific in the early 20th century.

	[No title]
		In his famous critique of evolutionism written over a quarter of a century ago, Robert Nisbet (1969) said that the detection of historical pattern is not a property of history itself, but is simply in the eye of the beholder.
		Evolutionism emerged and became extremely popular during the 1850-1873 A phase (although some major evolutionary works were written somewhat after that time, which probably means that we have to allow for a certain amount of lag of intellectual phases after economic phases).
		Evolutionism was starting on its first decline during the latter part of the B phase of 1873-1897 (intellectual lag again).

	Creation and Evolution
		It is the "neo-Darwinian evolutionism" of modern scientism that demands exclusivistic naturalism for the explanation of the origin and operation of all existence.
		Neo-Darwinian evolutionism has developed a rigid epistemological belief-system with the illogical "faith" premise that "the natural world is all there is," and their defense of such is akin to the most superstitious religionism.
		Ethical/moral evolutionism is based on the premise that whatever is useful for survival is "good," and mankind naturally selects such "good" and progresses toward what is "best" for all.

	Evolutionism 5
		Evolutionism is the way things have to be, at least until another completely naturalistic explanation can find enough support.
		Evolutionism is accepted, not because of the facts, but in spite of the facts.
		With their own sense of evangelistic fervor, they proclaim the story of evolutionism with a confidence that they have the market on "science." A deeper look, however, reveals a presupposition that is anything but objective.

	Social Evolutionism
		Marx and his co-worker, Friedrich Engels, devised a theory in which the institutions of monogamy, private property, and the state were assumed to be chiefly responsible for the exploitation of the working classes in modern industrialized societies.
		The great weakness of this method lay in the evaluation of evidence plucked out of context, and in the fact that much of the material, at a time when there were almost no trained field workers, came from amateur observers.
		The evolutionism of Tylor, Morgan, and others of the nineteenth century is largely rejected today.

	Peloza v. Capistrano Unified School District
		He is being forced by the defendants (the school district, its trustees and individual teachers and others) to proselytize his students to a belief in "evolutionism" "under the guise of [its being] a valid scientific theory." Evolutionism is an historical, philosophical and religious belief system, but not a valid scientific theory.
		evolutionism in academic circles does not qualify it or validate it as a scientific theory." Peloza believes that the defendants seek to dismiss him due to his refusal to teach evolutionism.
		Peloza claims that evolutionism is not a valid scientific theory because it is based on events which "occurred in the non-observable and non-recreatable past and hence are not subject to scientific observation." Id. at 3.

		As used historically to refer to a number of theories of "evolutionism" relating to the development of life or the universe.
		As used by creationists with an intended negative connotation against an advocacy of or belief in biological evolution (i.e., suggesting evolution is just another belief system or even a religion); see Creation vs. evolution debate [1]

	Evolutionism - AnthroBase - Dictionary of Anthropology: A searchable database of anthropological texts
		Evolutionism postulates that societies develop from simpler to more complex organizational forms, a simple formulation, which hardly anyone would disagree with, even today.
		In more modern variants, evolutionism is often tied to theories of modernization and scale, ecological anthropology, and research on development and underdevelopment.
		The impact of 19th century evolutionism on modern anthropology lies, first and foremost, in the grand comparative projects it attempted, which have inspired a general ideal of comparative studies in anthropology.

		Darwin was converted to evolutionism by the results of his voyage on H.M.S. Beagle (1831-36) several years before he discovered the principle of natural selection.
		His ideas have been linked to the subsequent emergence of Nazism, and there can be no doubt that evolutionism offered many opportunities for those who wished to see the white race as the pinnacle of progress.
		Evolutionism was widely applied to develop an ideology of struggle, but Darwinism as we know it today was only one component of Victorian -- and later -- right wing values.

		Evolutionism vs Creationism: neither extreme is adequate; a middle ground is described
		Evolutionism is taken as progressive changes over geologic time resulting from 'survival of the fittest' or 'survival by accident' or 'natural selection' or happenchance rearrangements of genetic materials as successive generations of living beings adapted to changing environments -- without any influence from an external agent or intelligence.
		Evolutionism -- or, more pointedly, Darwinism -- requires projections and speculations not supportable by careful obsersvation and construction of observable facts, as will be demonstrated in succeeding paragraphs.

	Evolutionism vs. Creationism (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
		Evolutionarians, a term I have coined to identify the faithful adherents of evolution, and Evolutionism, the religion of evolution, must necessarily be applied to the "scientist" priests of the evolution religion and its followers, and to the religion itself.
		Other Evolutionism followers chose to dismiss the evidence as hoax without giving it any consideration, but the photograph is undeniable and speaks eloquently of their spiritual blindness.
		Evolutionism was being destroyed by the Paluxy trail's reality, so the Evolutionarians had to find another excuse or two to deflect the rational conclusion that dinosaurs and human beings had been living at the same time in history, just as the Bible teaches.

	Cultural selection. Chapter 2: The history of cultural selection theory
		A synthesis between evolutionism and functionalism should certainly be possible, since the selection theory gives a possible connection between the function of a cultural institution and its origin.
		Evolutionism, on the contrary, is a nomothetic science, which seldom has been applied to the study of specific details (Harris 1969).
		Evolutionism focuses on the time dimension, and it is important to notice that the time dimension is irreversible.

	- Thermodynamics vs. Evolutionism -
		Evolutionism takes its greatest pride in applying this same brand of speculation to the classic Darwinian hypothesis in which all known biological life is said to have descended (by means of virtually infinite—yet random—additional increases in organized complexity) from that first hypothesized single-celled organism.
		Add this to his failure to meet the second law’s challenge to evolutionism, and Steiger’s work is reduced in simple terms to the same old song and dance with a few pot shots thrown in for effect.
		evolutionism (in the guise of “scientific fact”) doesn’t have to be consistent with the laws of thermodynamics.

		We reject this claim because neither the Supreme Court, nor this circuit, has ever held that evolutionism or secular humanism are "religions" for Establishment Clause purposes.
		Peloza would have us accept his definition of "evolution" and "evolutionism" and impose his definition on the school district as its own, a definition that cannot be found in the dictionary, in the Supreme Court cases, or anywhere in the common understanding of the words.
		Only if we define "evolution" and "evolutionism" as does Peloza as a concept that embraces the belief that the universe came into existence without Creator might he make out a claim.
