Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...you're really just LOVING all of the attention; aren't you?

The internet can produce all sorts sensory activities. But, since you appear to be completely unaware of the way English writers and speakers us terms such as "the smell of fear", to describe another, who is in a difficult situation, you must, yet again, react with a juvenile stab at calumny.

Perhaps it's not so much that he's unaware of it but rather that he's decided to redefine it to suit his whims, much like he did with the word "species". He can't stand that "corn" isn't a species, and that there are actually different species within the range of plants called "corn", so he's redefined "species" so that "corn" and all genetic varieties thereof are a single species. That way he can pretend that he's not lying when one species of corn becoming another species of corn isn't really speciation. True, he's insisting idiotically that "species" means something other than what it really means, but many creationists are so delusional that they really don't believe themselves to be lying if they insist enough that their redefinitions of reality are the correct ones and that absolutely everyone else on the planet has it wrong when they disagree (you see this frequently with creationists who insist that evolution addresses the origin of the cosmos, for example)
