They cant/wont define what it is after being asked many times. So they attempt to change the subject.

I say they are your proof the Theory of Evolution is too broad a concept and too loosely defined to be a legitimate scientific theory.

"They cant/wont define what it is after being asked many times. So they attempt to change the subject."

BS. He has already been given a number of definitions of what evolution is. What he won't do, because he can't, is explain how evolution is too broad to be a scientific theory. HE'S the one trying to change the subject. He made the claim, but he's too much a whiner to back it up. And you're his little lap dog.

"I say they are your proof the Theory of Evolution is too broad a concept and too loosely defined to be a legitimate scientific theory."

I say you are proof that some people have no shame whatsoever, and will attach their names to the most dishonest claims in order to further their fantasies.

Rather than seeking a definition, which is readily available, I have asked them to state the "Theory of Evolution". They repeatedly claim that it is a scientific theory. If that is so, then they need to state the Theory of Evolution as a scientific theory before debate can continue.

Unfortunately, although they claim to be scientists, they appear unable to grasp the difference between a scientific theory and a simple definition.

For instance:

Einstein's Special Theory of Relativity consists of two postulates:

1. The speed of light is the same for all observers, no matter what their relative speeds.
2. The laws of physics are the same in any inertial, non-accelerated frame of reference. The laws of physics observed by a hypothetical observer traveling with a relativistic particle must be the same as those observed by an observer who is stationary in the laboratory.
The definition of "relativity theory" is:
"the theory that space and time are relative concepts rather than absolute concepts".
As you can see from the example, the definition of a scientific theory is not the same as a clear concise scientific statement of a scientific theory.
