One of the mainstays of evolutionary theory is the development of different species by various routes, perhaps mutation or adaptation.

Of course that presupposes that there is some way of identifying a new species when we see one. That would require a common understanding of what a species is, a definition of the term “species”.

We are favored with over a dozen definitions and even that number may be increasing. Its like asking thirteen of more people the definition of economics, you get more definitions than people.

Imagine a chemist with a dozen meanings of “Do not mix” on his flasks. But while imagining I would leave the room.

The Hallmark of Darwinism, the formation of new species, the evo in evolution, the win in Darwinism , and there is no clear definition of what the critter is.

Tell us all again how Darwinism is science. or not.

We always get it wrong. We even classified the bat as a mammel instead of a bird!
