Well, who was the moron that wrote that "rule?" I could counter — a person whom you describe as "dense," which may be your polite way of calling me a moron — that the definition of a species is that all its members are of purple color, with pink polka-dots.
And both of our arguments would not have any common logical ground to stand on, no criterion by which the truth of either statement can be judged and verified.
It seems you want to reduce the entire universe down to the size of your own idea of it.
What you seem to be proposing, dear allmendream, is the reduction of the universe, of the entire natural order, to the size of an arbitrary definition....
I have noticed that many people nowadays are entranced by the power of words....
May God help us — and bless you, dear allmendream.
When speaking of a “species” in biology - it has a very simple meaning - subject to interpretation of course - of a species being an interbreeding population.
You say there has not been an example of speciation - yet are ignorant that - YES there has - and of what a species even is.
As such it makes it rather difficult to communicate to you at your level - if you need to get all Humpty Dumpty on the definition of words to make your insipid argument.
My God bless you and keep you.
