Scientists argue about defining species, don't they? Scientists argue about all sorts of things. Does that make one side wrong and the other right? Who decides?

Sure, but scientists are working *towards* a definition of species. The arguments are between those who would define species as:
1) interbreeding group,
2) group with a biological ability to reproduce but without it occurring in nature for other geographic or social behavior type reasons,
3) Genetic reasons
among others. Creationists give no definition of kind, and generally work *against* any definition being given. This is the problem... creationism doesn't work towards scientific goals, but against them as it works towards political goals.
