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.

You may need to do a little additional research before labeling all creationists as providing no definition of something.

Whether or not you are in agreement isn't the point.

Science is political. Religion is political. There is a wholeness in things that can not be avoided.

For example there are topics in science that are not studied because of politics and there are topics that are because of politics. The Space Shuttle -- once politically favored science; Larry Summers recent comments on male-female differences -- and such studies are politically disfavored.

Science is highly political.
