Perhaps John Grehan would explain to us what he means with the term
"evolutionist". Since evolution essentially means organisms changing
through time, this doesn't seem to warrant use of the word orthodoxy or any
other valuation. Is the term "evolutionist" used here as a code word for
labelling individuals who believe in a particular type of process causing
change among organisms? If so, explain. In any event, do not equate process
(the agent causing change) with the event (the change as seen by us).
