Your friends in Wikipedia provide sufficient information, to wit: "Futuyma is the author of the widely used textbook Evolutionary Biology and Science on Trial: The Case for Evolution, an introduction to the creation-evolution controversy." that I'd suggest the reason he wants to change the meaning of the word "evolve" is political.

I guess he figures that if he controls what words mean he controls the debate.

Bet he doesn't have the guts to show up in FR.

Is it scary here for evolutionists? I hadn't noticed.

Yes they do, but no part of my quote is from Wikipedia. The quote concerning evolution is from Douglas J. Futuyma in Evolutionary Biology, Sinauer Associates 1986.

But Wiki does provide a partial bibliography for Futuyma.

But compared to you, he knows nothing about evolution.
