antievolutionist
Rejects species change
An antievolutionist opposes the theory of biological evolution, typically on religious grounds, arguing that species were created in their present forms rather than developing through natural selection over time.
The term most often describes someone who advocates against teaching evolution in schools or who promotes creationism or intelligent design as alternatives.
The school board included several vocal antievolutionists who wanted equal time for creation science.
