it doesn't mean whatever you want it to mean.)))

Once again, attempting to control the debate by defining terms to suit yourselves. You can make a list--you can spam it and spam it--we'll see if you can enforce it. You clearly can't persuade, so enforcement is the only other option.

I'm controlling debate by asking you to use words within hollering distance of their common definitions? When did I do that "once before"? Did the two fruit fly populations in question fail to procreate, or not? Do you know what speciation means--or do you just prefer the "uncontrolled" form of debate where you hold your breath and turn blue until you get your way?

Why is it that when many a creationist gets a well-established scientific definition wrong, they frequently accuse those who point out the mistake of trying to redefine terms?
