So we can't use the word "creationism" without validating their use of "Darwinism"?

This is wholly fallacious ... you may disagree with what you interpret as the implications of attaching "ism" to Chomsky, but in no way does that equate it to attaching "ism" to Darwin -- each of these attachments and their validity are independent.

BTW, even what you see as pejorative in such an attachment is a cultural interpretation ... e.g., it is far more common among British evolutionary biologists than American to view "Darwinism" neutrally -- Dawkins for one uses the term and describes himself as a Darwinist. See, e.g., https://www.edge.org/conversation/richard_dawkins-chapter-3-...
