In case you missed my point.
The anti-evolutionists on this forum use a broad dictionary definition of 'theory' 'evolution' and a number of other terms that normally have narrow meaning in the sciences. They use these definitions simply as a means to make a point in the debate about science. See the connection? We are discussing science, therefore the terms used need to be used in their scientific contexts and with their scientific meaning. Any other use is at best uninformed and at worst dishonest.
I am not being bossy, nor an obsessive Internet hag by insisting that the antievolutionists at least pretend to honesty in the debate. If they insist on playing semantic games then it is no longer a debate but a free for all BS session.

To set the terms, you must either enforce or persuade.
You can demonstrate your mojo or your diplomacy--so far you're just the wannabe Hall Monitor Deputy with a sheriff who can't deliver his own lines.
