Did I give that definition? I am sorry, but I looked back through recent
correspondence in vain for any use of a definition anywhere, and didn't
find it.
So I don't know where you came up with my definition of creationist (but am
willing to be corrected). I am quite content with Webster's definition in
a secular setting (so long as we can use "species" in a nontechnical
sense). Ergo we agree. End of discussion. Interesting.
