→Usage of the term?
::Maybe we could change it to a more abstract (and made-up) example that emphasizes the point while at the same time simply telling the context in which the term is often used (Evolutionists accusing Creationists of doing so, possibly with the reply by Creationists as Richard gave it - I haven't checked that link)? The quote strikes me as needlessly complicated, especially for an example that is supposed to make a point clear. --[[User:Sid 3050|Sid 3050]] 08:33, 8 March 2007 (EST)

:::Actually, what triggered my comment was that I was ''planning'' to find or concoct an example that did not involve either evolution or creationism, but if I'm correct that the phrase is used only in the evolution/creationism dispute—and, as [[User:Rich P|Dr. Richard Paley]] notes, only in one direction—such an example would be misleading, because it wouldn't be illustrating the actual way the term is used.
