Criticism to Creationism vs. Evolutionism?

There is no such thing as "evolutionism". We don't say that an anatomist studies "anatomism" or that a geneticist studies "geneticism". People who study evolutionary biology are biologists. Evolutionary biology is just one of many thoroughly explored divisions of biological science. Evolution is not a "belief". It is a well understood natural process, fully supported by vast scientific evidence. "Creationism" on the other hand is a philosophical/religious belief system, with no connection to true science. By "Creationism", I don't mean the belief that God brought into existence all that exists. That belief is completely compatible with facts revealed by science. "Creationism" is the opinion that every existing species was directly created by God "as is" - a belief that science clearly demonstrates to be utterly absurd.
