means any theory or doctrine of origins that requires its adherents to

Scriptures."
I think, Vernon, exclusive of the obvious fact that the above
"definition" is ludicrous, that the words "violence to the scriptures"
need to be replaced by "violence to a strict literal reading of early
Genesis." At least then, the "definition" would be self-consistent, and
not denigrate those of us who do not see any reason why early Genesis has
to be taken literally. It would still be ludicrous, of course, because it
has nothing at all to do with how 99.99% of the educated world used the
term "evolution."
