-_- you don't get to use incorrect definitions just because you make it clear how you are using a term. You can say 2+2 = 34 all you want, but you'll remain incorrect.The lack of clarification is the essence of misunderstanding. You have a responsibility. My conscience is clear, I've defined my terms.
None of evolution's definitions have anything to do with philosophy. Scientific theories don't have philosophies, and even if you are talking about how philosophy changes over time, evolution is just stating that it is changing, not whether or not it should or even how it will change in that usage.There is not one but two definitions here, being equivocated. Evolution as a phenomenon in nature and a philosophy of history.
Your definition(s) please.
evolution is the change in genetic composition of a population over successive generations, which may be caused by natural selection, inbreeding, hybridization, and mutation
There's only one other valid use of evolution, which is as a generic term for "change/development over time".
Using this word any other way is using it to mean something it doesn't.
So sayeth the man that wants me to clarify which definition of evolution I am using every time I use the word, even though context clues can make it obvious.Thanks for admitting the obvious.
Here it is again: evolution is the change in genetic composition of a population over successive generations, which may be caused by natural selection, inbreeding, hybridization, and mutation.My experience, no you won't.
Salty that I don't always respond to you like I say I will? I am a college student, so I am not on every day. Sometimes I lose track of conversations during my absences. Other times, mod clean ups and thread closures prevent me from responding. If I haven't addressed something you really want me to, you can always link me to it, and I'll do my best.
