"Evolutionism" is a condescending term used by creationists or intelligent design supporters to suggest that evolution is only a belief system, or that it is somehow not scientific.
The correct term is "evolutionary science" or simply "evolution".

What is moral evolutionism?
Moral evolutionism is an attempt to assign the natural changes that evolution brings to any situation, and apply them to Morality. This means that any set of rules that a society uses to govern itself, even on a day to day basis, are subject to change as that society progresses through the time span that is being considered in the environment that that society is found in. This could be years or even centuries. We see this occurring in so many societies of the past. The most indelible in western thought are those of the Greeks and the Romans as well as the Egyptians. Yet if the Chinese and Indian cultures are included there is a rich world heritage which brings us to the more modern societies such as the English French and American. Morals in these last three societies on the surface are similar, especially when you talk about the morals of human life and its value to a society. Then as the discussion continues to property and its management there are mores where change becomes more and more evident. In the ancient societies human life was more determined by its value to the state. The evolution we have seen has brought each individual human life into its own context. Yet even that has taken millennium to effect such changes as the Magna Carta, and eventually the American Constitution. But even these were caught in a time frame that has continued to change. There have always been laws or morals which make murder and theft crimes against the society which enacted these codes. Hammurabi made one of the first written codes of law. In it he defined the roll of government as "to protect the weak from the strong." This is still the very core of government, for if it isn't then we are doomed. However, the governments which have emerged down through the ages have taken this concept and muted it as the strong took over these governments or the governments themselves became the strong, and therefore nullified the original basics which gave them power in the first place. Evolution means change. In biology 99% of all the species which have ever lived are no longer alive. That is the power of evolution. Even ruling dynasties in the biological context, such as the dinosaurs have not survived the changes that evolution have brought on the face of this planet. So to have dynasties of human societies been cast aside by change. usually much quicker then the biological dynasties. So this must lead us to see the inevitability of moral changes coming into our own moral codes of conduct usually described by religious entities in our current societies. The potential is that soon enough things that are taboo now will become much more accepted, and soon there will be a dramatic change in the things we may now hold sacred. Gay marriage and drug use are already being worn down by the pressures of time and testimony. The holding onto these aspects of our moral codes are subjects of fierce debate and are almost unable in most cases to be adequately discussed since one side usually takes a tenet that cannot be truly expressed let alone easily proven. Here is where the compromise breaks down and it becomes a test of wills. However the usual eventual outcome is the opposition is just worn away and their arguments just no longer have any credence since they are believed by less and less as the easier way of experiencing it. This is the pressure all of evolution is inclined to succumb to. The while moths of Wales were eventually forced to become black when their environment was blackened by the burning of coal as the majority fuel in their area in the 19th century. Moral evolution is as inevitable as time itself. What is the definition of time? It is the measurement of change. Therefore the arrow of time denotes the inevitability of change in our society even of the very moral code itself. To try to change that is an impossible task eventually as the time frame may change but the the inevitable change will still occur at some time in the future.

Who does evolutionism impact the most?
The important issue is that the Question does not ask about the impact of evolution, but the impact of evolutionism. "Evolutionism" is defined as the belief that evolution explains the origin of species.The body of science relating to evolution should not be considered "evolutionism", since the term suggests belief, rather than knowledge and scientific theory. Nevertheless, creationists tend to use the term to suggest that the Theory of Evolution and creationism should be treated as equal concepts.Arguably, since the term "evolutionism" is mainly used by creationists, it is creationists themselves who are mainly impacted by evolutionism.For more information, please visit: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/the-story-of-creation
