Richard Dawkins is the Charles Simonyi Professor for the Public Understanding of Science, at Oxford University. In this position, he clearly has a sound understanding of scientific issues such as evolution and the creation of the universe. This has led him to believe that Creationism is inherently untrue. Since his role is to advance the public understaning of Science, he has written books such as The God Delusion(Bantam Press, 2006) to explain his views.
I think that Professor Dawkins sees Creationism as dependently linked to religious belief. Where he views Creationism to contend with Science, which he asserts is quite often, Dawkins prefers to focus on the inherent failure of the underlying religious belief rather than simply demonstrating the error of the Creationist belief and leaving the proponent to continue in his or her religious beliefs.

Professor C. Richard Dawkins is cited as a zoologist and an ethologist meaning his main expertise is in animals and animal behavior. His main focus appears to revolve around evolutionary theory (What branch of biology doesn't? But, in the case of Dawkins, it is particularly prominent.). No doubt he seeks evolutionary explanations (ultimate explanations) for the wonderful and extraordinary and diverse behaviors of animals.

What is a clever title for evolution v. creationism persuasive essay. I am for evolution?
Richard Dawkins battles the creationism and evolution landscape with many a lengthy book on the subjects or, presumably, clever article. The titles of his books are quite good, such as Climbing Mount Improbable or The Selfish Gene or River out of Eden or The Ancestor's Tale. I have no idea of any titles for you (obviously you can't use Dawkins' titles). I did once consider the title The Intelligent Design of Education, for an article on whether Intelligent Design was worthy to be taught alongside or instead of evolution in classes. The title was supposed to imply the 'intelligent design' of education and educational decrees in cases where they excluded such things as Intelligent Design and creationism. Of course, 'clever' titles on this topic are likely to amuse biologists and infuriate fundamentalists. On April the 1st of one year (probably a complete April Fool), it appeared that Scientific American (I think it was that) wrote an editorial saying things like we scientists should discard observation and experiment and embrace faith and creationism. One wonders how that went down. Still, as I say, a complete April Fool.For your title, you can use plays on words, which are always clever. I sometimes rather like alliteration. Test your language. Look at the context and final product of your essay. Flip words this way and that. As I say, try puns and plays on words.In a case where you defy or deny evolution, The Creation of Evolution could be the start of a title, followed by perhaps a derogatory ending that implies it incorrect or idiotic.In the case in which you find holes in and dismiss creationism, try The Evolution of Creation, perhaps implying that creation is a made-up story that is imagined by creatures that are simply the product of evolution.Oh well, good luck with your persuasive essay. Gather your facts well and good luck with the title.
What is the opposite of creationism?
Creationism, as a belief, a philosophy and a mindset, would be defined as an abstract noun; creationism as an event or a process would be a concrete noun. Nouns have no opposites; you cannot get "negative-creation" in the same way as you can get 1 and -1.
