Convenient how some scientists made up their own dictionary.

I think I'll do that, too. :)

If you want to argue science, you have to stick to certain rules. We aren't just making this up, much as you might believe that.

Laws are kind of formulas, "you do this--you get that." Mathematical, very simplistic. They do not grow up to be theories.

Hypotheses, if they stand up to a lot of testing, do grow up to be theories. A theory is about as high as you can get in science. There is no "next step" for a theory. There is only down, and that takes some real evidence to accomplish.

I know you don't like evolution, but science and the scientific method have evolved over hundreds of years. All sciences use pretty much the same rules.

If you don't even understand the rules (including the definitions), you can't argue against the results!

The Dictionary posted by Coyoteman was the result of a bunch of the regulars on the crevo threads chipping in (based on a starting point from PH and one other I believe) and coming up with a mutually agreed upon set of definitions for these terms when used on the crevo threads.

They did this in an effort to cut down on unnecessary flame wars caused by people fighting over two different meanings of the same word, without realizing it.

To my point of view it has helped things out.

Cheers!
