Well I think this is not such a trivial question, not
really cause for jocularity, although I see the humor.
Considering the fact that the modern anti-evolutionists
claim that the theory is inadequate using a process of
eliminative induction, yet I do not find where they
use a textbook definition ...
I am thinking a textbook definition would be a helpful
start for the lay people. I guess what I am saying is
rather saying "the professionals" know what you mean,
share the wealth.
I posted a link that excerpts Futuyama's book a few
days ago, but I am not a "professional" :-)
