Other people implied I was. The point was for them to present something different from what I said.

Media popularization of scientific terms/theories is notoriously shitty. That's why we see a 'miracle cure for cancer' story every other month.
"When we try to explain evolution to those who do not know much about it, one of the problems we have is the definition of what counts as evolution. In part, this is because some of the definitions found in the scientific literature, including textbooks and popularizations of evolutionary theory, use technical terms that do not seem to convey to the public that evolution explains the diversity of living forms. In part, it is also because the popular idea of evolution as it is found in dictionaries, science fiction, and philosophical potboilers is a holdover of concepts that have long been abandoned in the biological sciences, if not in theology or in the "science" of popular media."

I was going to bring that link in myself eventually.
No. No one implied you were wrong on this occasion. I implied you are full of yourself to cite yourself to justify yourself.
