In the interest of fairness to TNO, this definition (the OP) is the result of a discussion in the "Religious Discussions" forum, that I did not want to turn into a discussion of the semantics of "Global Warming, vis-a-vis "Climate change". Per the revised rules, I allowed several posts on this subject, as some latitude should be present in general terms, but decided that the topic (if there really is one) should be relocated.
To place it in context, another member used the analogy that when "climate scientists" began to run into problems with the concept of "Global Warming" in the real world, the "name" was changed to maintain the momentum of their efforts, and defend the principle.......TNO was citing examples where it "appeared" (to another member) that evolution scientists were doing the same thing.........I have no position, one way or another on TNO's citations, or arguments. I merely wanted to maintain the focus of the original thread.
The original thread was on the topic of Darwinian evolution..........
Should the combatants wish to continue the discussion of the change in the definition of these terms, this is the appropriate place for that discussion to occur......
That is all.......
