"Will you at least admit that he's insisting that the word be re-defined to suit his own goals?"

Wow.

My understanding of what Behe said is easily recognized.

Will you at least admit that you insist on misrepresenting Behe so that you can have an argument?

Behe wasn't re-defining anything. He was just talking so far above everyone's head that it was impossible for them to understand. Not difficult these days but still easily seen once it's pointed out.

Apparently, neither Judge Jones nor the vast majority of evos have (1) the critical-thinking skills to understand what Behe was saying and (2) the honesty to admit their error once it's made obvious.

From observations, I would say that they do not want to understand what he says (nor anyone else that might be a threat to their ideology)

I have done no such thing. I quoted him at length, in context. I misrepresented nothing.

He admitted under oath that he wanted to expand the definition of "scientific theory" to inlude notions that were disproven, discarded and untrue. No debate there.
