You realize a lot of English words change in meaning right? When you sing that verse form deck the halls "don we now or gay apparel" you don't think they are talking about homosexuals do you?
You're not even thoughtful enough to see that you're arguing with yourself here: on the word hand, you're arguing that your usage of "evolution" is apt because you're using an older definition; on the other hand, you're rightly pointing out that usage in language changes.
What you're doing is called equivocation. If this were the first time I'd read any of your shitposting, I would have thought you were simply a dumbfuck. As matters sand, I know that you've had this explained to you, by myself and others, and that the only real explanation for you trotting this line of argument out is that you're a dishonest asshole.
And a dumbfuck.

Yeah, good luck with that, FaF.

And you were shown clearly wrong, but lack the honesty to admit it:

Here is what I said.
Quote:meaning "speciation" is just a genetic variation of the same species, that are isolated from breeding with each other.And your definition.
the OED Wrote:noun, Biology
1. the formation of new species as a result of geographic, physiological, anatomical, or behavioral factors that prevent previously interbreeding populations from breeding with each other.
I think we've isolated the problem. Apparently you don't understand the difference between the words same and new.
You claimed that the species after a speciation event were the same species. That means that they could still interbreed and produce viable offspring capable of reproduction. The definition I provided clearly noted that in the aftermath of a speciation event, there is a new species at hand. It is a different species.
You see, "same" means unchanged; "new" means not previously present. The fact that you have to ignore this distinction gives great insight into the vapidity of your opinion. No one cares what you think the word means. What matters is its meaning in the context of biology. Your inability to understand that has no bearing on the issue, at all. Because scientists, and folks here, don't give a shit about your errors of comprehension -- or incomprehension, really -- insofar as the theory of evolution is concerned.
You're either a really bad liar, or a really stupid person.
Well, I guess that's an excluded-middle fallacy on my part; it's entirely possible that you are an incredibly stupid liar. Yeah, that sounds right.
Later, 'Tater.
The only thing you're doing here is supporting your ignorance by flaunting your dishonesty.
Dumbfuck.
