Havoc has redefined "species" into something other than what anyone else means when using the word.

No, Havoc just won't let you get by with corn turning into corn = speciation. And you're mad. Stomp your foot again.. it's funny.

Havoc has redefined "species" into something other than what anyone else means when using the word.

   "...and that shows that there are three hundred and sixty-four days when you get un-birthday presents -- -"

   "Certainly," said Alice.

    "And only one for birthday presents, you know, There's glory for you!"

   "I don't know what you mean by 'glory,' "Alice said.

   Humpty Dumpty smiled contemptuously. "Of course you don't -- till I tell you. I meant "there's a nice knock-down argument for you!'"

   "But `glory' doesn't mean `a nice knock-down argument,'" Alice objected.

   "When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said in a rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean -- neither more nor less.

   "The question is," said Alice, "whether you can make words mean different things."

   "The question is," said Humpty Dumpty, "which is to be master -- that's all."

   Alice was too much puzzled to say anything, so after a minute Humpty Dumpty began again.

   "They've a temper, some of them -- particularly verbs, they're the proudest -- adjectives you can do anything with, but not verbs -- however, I can manage the whole lot! Impenetrability! That's what I say!"

   "Would you tell me, please," said Alice, "what that means?"

   "Now you talk like a reasonable child," said Humpty Dumpty, looking very much pleased. "I meant by "impenetrability' that we've had enough of that subject, and it would be just as well if you'd mention what you meant to do next, as I suppose you don't intend to stop here all the rest of your life."

   "That's a great deal to make one word mean," Alice said in a thoughtful tone.

   "When I make a word do a lot of work like that," said Humpty Dumpty, "I always pay it extra."

Trying to have a rational conversation with anti-evolutionists often feels like taking a trip through the bizarre world of Wonderland...
