Evolutionism - A General Definition
"Evolutionism" means different things to different people. For
example, there are theistic evolutionists and there are atheistic
evolutionists. But the basic premise behind the evolutionary
world-view is atheistic. Theistic evolutionists are those who have
managed to reach a compromise between two very distinct
world-views: creationism and evolutionism. Evolutionism, in its
purer form, is the idea that this universe is the result of random
cosmic accidents. Life arose spontaneously via chance chemical
processes, and all life-forms are related and share a common
ancestor - from bananas to birds, from fishes to flowers, apes to
Adam, etc.
