Since there have been a number of posters claiming that 'natural selection" has no specific meaning other than one stronger organism surviving while another weaker one perishes (in any means under any circumstances, a bomb, genocide, whatever), I think this now calls into question exactly what the definition of the ToE says.
​
Can we please have a complete definition of what is the Theory of Evolution?

I suggest that you work this out in the Has natural selection really been tested and verified? thread.

I fear that in doing so, I will be accused of being off topic. Furthermore, I want to have a clear understanding of what we are now calling the ToE. Is there a problem in discussing that?
