A discussion of speciation requires a definition of what constitutes a species

Here we go again. Every time I bother to read one of these links, these scientists want to redefine the words involved. Last time it was "theory". A species is a species is a species, same thing with theory, and it doesn't matter what "is" is! Liberal doublespeak at it's best!

It is important in science to be precise, so that everyone knows exactly what you are trying to say in your scientific paper. Therefore, you'd best make sure people understand what you mean when you state something.

In this case, it is a direct challenge to certain creationists who throw around the word "kind" like it was candy in their work, when they still don't have a straight definition for it.
