”Why do you continually attack people for explaining to you the usage of terms that has been common in the scientific community for years.”

I am not attacking people. I have tried to be logical and polite. I am simply stating my views and using the education that was instilled in my in college and in my subsequent study. However, I do not subscribe to the theory that one can re-define the meaning of words to suit one’s particular ideological perspective. In other words, I am not a deconstructionist.

If you wish to apply the same terms to scientific facts that have been conclusively proven and scientific theories that are still … shall we say “evolving,” well have at it. But I believe words have consequences.

Words do have consequences and you are the one misusing them.
