A belief originally perpetuated by Charles Darwin, that all life originated from single-celled organisms. And a Big Bang. This belief contradicts creationism, which believes a supreme being, generally God, created enough kinds of animals for natural selection to take effect, and the variety of species today is a result. Evolution is not the same as natural selection
A person who realizes science has evidence and creation does not. A term created by creationists to claim 90% of science is false because it claims evolution, abiogenesis, physics, chemistry, technology, and quantum mechanics explain everything we see and nothing has ever proven a god much less a creation.
It can also apply to religious people who believe in a god but also support the fact that science has evidence and their beliefs just have a book.
Those stupid evolutionists are always talking about everything coming from nothing and humans evolving from rocks.
When an evolutionist says millions of years know everything they say is false because the Bible says differently.
One who argues that evolution is the correct theory of origins for life on earth (instead of creationism or Intelligent Design). The word was coined by creationists as a way to mischaracterize scientists that denounce creationism. "Evolutionist" implies that evolution is merely an unsupported belief ultimately interchangeable with creationism. In fact, most scientists "believe" in evolution because the of the great amount of research and empirical evidence that supports it. The word evolutionist is a mildly offensive term to most scientists.
I see no reason to read the works of noted evolutionist Prof. Steve Steve-- the Bible has all the evidence I need.
Supposedly a word for someone who believes (in actuality, has knowledge of) evolution. This is a funny word because you don't find it anywhere outside creationist websites.
That would make me an evolutionist, if I can use that wordoutside of the pointless evolution/creation debate.
-Doesn't actually exist. There is no such faction or mindset as an 'evolutionist', which has so far not prevented the more literal-minded creationists from leaping on the title.
Evolutionist. -A fine example of poor English topped off with a platform to stand on.
While our lifespan is the number of years we will live, our healthspan is the number of healthy years we will have and our sexspan is is the number of years we will continue to be healthy enough to continue having an active sex life.
A lighthearted reaction upon receiving disappointing news of some sort. Usually something that isn't a particularly a big deal, esp. when it primarily affects someone else - sort of a mild schadenfreude. Sometimes doubled or tripled, and possibly said in a sing-songy voice for added comedic effect to imitate a muted trumpet, which is how the meme originated.
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
I watched "Smallville" on Netflix the other day. Dude, it was ten seasons of filler before he finally flew! Major Surf Dracula Syndrome!
