The adjective creationary ought to be added to the active core vocabulary of every educated English-speaking person so that it can then be used alongside the corresponding adjective evolutionary.

Perhaps some of you are so used to digesting feeble-minded creationary parables as serious science that you can't tell the difference between an argument that requires serious criticism, and an inane story about "little changes" becoming "big changes".

If organisms are considered creationarily successful if they have more offspring, and offspring are created from genes, then changes in gene frequencies (or more specifically, genotype frequencies) will reflect successful creationary phenotypes.

We have the creationary philosophy and the evolutionary philosophy, both of which are religious in that they are based on axioms which must be accepted by/on faith.

Creationary philosophy has indeed become a state of mind, one might almost say a kind of mental prison rather than a scientific attitude. For wherever proof is, in the nature of the case, either lacking or impossible, the scientific attitude is to maintain an open mind. But this is precisely what the creationist is unwilling to allow. He will not admit that any alternative interpretation of the data is possible. Yet the data upon which his faith is postulated is equivocal; it is capable of being interpreted in two entirely different ways. To equate one particular interpretation of the data with the data itself is evidence of mental confusion, and this mental confusion leads to some extraordinary propositions.

While this is simply not so, it sounds like a pronouncement issued by an individual that claims infallibility. A kind of creationary pope, speaking from the holy see of erudition and pro-God creation, issuing an infallible edict which all are required to accept.

For instance, a scholarly biology list that accepts messages based on creationary premises but refuses to accept messages based on evolutionary premises would probably be discriminating based on viewpoint: The theory that man naturally evolved from other animals is certainly an alternate viewpoint to the theory that man was created directly by God.
