Evolution Deniers

Sorry if this has been raised before, but wouldn't it be better to
formally categorise IDers and Creationists in their many, somewhat
confusing forms as Evolution Deniers? And, yes, I know it echoes
Holocaust Deniers, because I think their intellectual honesty is on
roughly the same level, not to mention the ideological nastiness that
lies (very thinly masked) behind their antics.

Evolution Denial, after all, is what these people are about. It's been
demonstrated over and over again, not least in t.o., that they have
nothing positive to offer science, and only seek to tear the edifice
down with abuse, distortion and downright lies. So a wholly negative
term for them seems far more apt than 'creationist' or 'intelligent
design advocate'. And why should rational people be required to use the
terminology of these enemies of rationality?
