The assumption that things happen randomly in this world is
unproven and is the foundation on which Darwin has built his
theory of evolution.

You're a liar.

It remains my choice to continue writing truthfully.

But when are you planning to start?

Long ago.

You're lying about the ToE and you could not have obtained a
medical degree without the course work necessary to know that.

Indeed, the LORD has blessed me with the knowledge and wisdom
required for a PhD in genetics and molecular medicine. Through
this knowledge and wisdom, I know the ToE to be false.

Gee and yet you haven't claimed your Noble Prize huh?

Nobel Prizes are not given for the easy task of disproving a theory,
especially when the source of the knowledge used for disproving the
theory comes from GOD.

You are such a tedious troll of a spammer...

This is not "unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses"

Sorry, it's spam

Not according to Merriam Webster

How or where does M-W exclude what you're doing?

(1) This USENET post is not email.

It is the virtual equivalent.

To the undiscerning, perhaps.

More dishonest snipping from Andy.

Spamming is commonly defined as the sending of unsolicited bulk e-mail
- that is, email that was not asked for (unsolicited) and received by
multiple recipients (bulk). A further common definition of spam
restricts it to unsolicited commercial e-mail, a definition that does
not consider non-commercial solicitations such as political or
religious pitches, even if unsolicited, as spam.

Newsgroup spam and Forum spam

Main article: Newsgroup spam

Newsgroup spam predates e-mail spam, and targets Usenet newsgroups. Old
Usenet convention defines spamming as excessive multiple posting, that
is, the repeated posting of a message (or substantially similar
messages). Since posting to newsgroups is nearly as easy as sending
e-mails, newsgroups are a popular target of spammers. The Breidbart
Index was developed to provide an objective measure of the "spamminess"
of a multi-posted or cross-posted message on Usenet.

Spamming an internet forum in general, is when a user posts something
which is off-topic or doesn't have anything to do with the current
subject. Also, a post that doesn't contribute to the thread
whatsoever is also considered spam in some cases. A third form of Forum
Spamming is where a person repeatedly posts about a certain subject in
a manner that is unwanted by (and possibly annoying to) the general
population of the forum. Lastly there is also the case where a person
posts messages solely for the purpose of increasing his or her ranking
on the forum. In a broader sense, advertising on forums where it is not
wanted is known as spamming and is generally seen as an annoyance.

Spam is the name given to EMP (Excessive Multiple Posting), ie posting
the same message repeatedly to different newsgroups, and ECP (Excessive
Cross Posting). It comes from the famous Monty Python sketch about the
cafe where spam is served with everything and is a form of Net Abuse.

http://www.alkenmrs.com/pc-security/spam-what-is-it.html
Spam is unsolicited email or junk email, usually with some claimed
commercial objective, but nearly always unwelcome.

Before email became an accepted means of communication, spam was mostly
restricted to the USENET newsgroups, which were initially established
to chat about particular topics. As the USENET grew, so did the
technology, and advanced mechanisms were introduced that allowed the
sending of one message across multiple newsgroups.

http://www2.vcn.bc.ca/whats_spam
Spam originally meant Usenet posts that were totally off-topic, and
cross-posted to many Usenet groups simultaneously. "Make money fast" is
often spam, because the poster sends the message to as many groups as
he or she can reach. The spammer doesn't give a damn about disrupting
other people's conversations - all he or she cares about is getting
their advert out to as many people as possible. Again, spammers are
selfishly exploiting the Internet's trust-based structure.

The term "spam" comes from a Monty Python sketch. In the sketch a
chorus of Vikings, singing "Spam" over and over, drown out conversation
in a restaurant. In the same way electronic spam drowns out online
conversations in a chorus of selfish off-topic postings.

Although the term was originally just applied to cross-posted Usenet
messages, "spam" is now a general term for any unwanted, unsolicited
and annoying electronic message sent indiscriminately to a large number
of people, whether by Usenet or email.

What is spam?

Taken from http://spam.abuse.net

Spam is flooding the Internet with many copies of the same message, in
an attempt to force the message on people who would not otherwise
choose to receive it. Most spam is commercial advertising, often for
dubious products, get-rich-quick schemes, or quasi-legal services. Spam
costs the sender very little to send-most of the costs are paid for by
the recipient or the carriers rather than by the sender.

There are two main types of spam, and they have different effects on
Internet users. Cancellable Usenet spam is a single message sent to 20
or more Usenet newsgroups. (Through long experience, Usenet users have
found that any message posted to so many newsgroups is often not
relevant to most or all of them.) Usenet spam is aimed at "lurkers,"
people who read newsgroups but rarely or never post and give their
address away. Usenet spam robs users of the utility of the newsgroups
by overwhelming them with a barrage of advertising or other irrelevant
posts. Furthermore, Usenet spam subverts the ability of system
administrators and owners to manage the topics they accept on their
systems.

http://www.vicomsoft.com/knowledge/reference/spam.html
The term Spam refers to unsolicited, unwanted, inappropriate bulk
email, Usenet postings and MUD/IRC monologs. For the purposes of this
discussion, we will use the term Spam primarily in reference to email,
which is what it is generally understood to mean when used in
connection with the Internet. Spam is often referred to as Unsolicited
Bulk Mail (UBM), Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP), Unsolicited Commercial
email (UCE), spam mail, bulk email or just junk mail.

https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=p/gen/spam-outside
Spam, including unsolicited commercial email, unsolicited bulk email,
mass email, and junk email, is a message that advertises goods or
services that you send to someone without their prior consent or in the
absence of a previous relationship. In one respect spam is the
electronic equivalent of the junk mail you receive in your postal
mailbox every day.

There are three main types of spam: Usenet, message board, and email.
Usenet and message board spam are messages sent or posted which are
unrelated to the topic of discussion of the particular news group or
message board. Email spam is any electronic mail message that is
addressed to a recipient with whom the initiator does not have an
existing business or personal relationship or is not sent at the
request of, or with the express consent of, the recipient.

There are other types of internet abuse that qualify as spam. These
include, but are not limited to, spamming of chat rooms and spamming
via internet relay chat or "instant messaging" systems (such as ICQ).

http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/s/spam.html
Electronic junk mail or junk newsgroup postings. Some people define
spam even more generally as any unsolicited e-mail. However, if a
long-lost brother finds your e-mail address and sends you a message,
this could hardly be called spam, even though it's unsolicited. Real
spam is generally e-mail advertising for some product sent to a mailing
list or newsgroup.

In addition to wasting people's time with unwanted e-mail, spam also
eats up a lot of network bandwidth. Consequently, there are many
organizations, as well as individuals, who have taken it upon
themselves to fight spam with a variety of techniques. But because the
Internet is public, there is really little that can be done to prevent
spam, just as it is impossible to prevent junk mail. However, some
online services have instituted policies to prevent spammers from
spamming their subscribers.

http://www.wdvl.com/Internet/Protocols/Email/Spam.html
Spam is a meat-based product manufactured by Hormel Foods Corporation
and immortalised by a famous Monty Python sketch. It has since been
adopted by the Internet community to signify the mindless mass-posting
of messages to Usenet or email, flooding the Internet with many copies
of the same message. Spam is unwanted, invasive Internet advertising.
Spam comes to you in two ways: either through Usenet's newsgroups, or
via Email. Spam is invasive, in that you haven't asked for it and it
gets sent to you (or posted to your newsgroup) anyway.

http://www.matisse.net/files/glossary.html
Spam (or Spamming)
An inappropriate attempt to use a mailing list, or USENET or other
networked communications facility as if it was a broadcast medium
(which it is not) by sending the same message to a large number of
people who didn?t ask for it. The term probably comes from a famous
Monty Python skit which featured the word spam repeated over and over.
The term may also have come from someone?s low opinion of the food
product with the same name, which is generally perceived as a generic
content-free waste of resources. (Spam® is a registered trademark of
Hormel Corporation, for its processed meat product.)

http://www.killfile.org/faqs/spam.html
This article is intended to describe the current consensus spam
thresholds and ensure that the definitions of these terms are available
and consistent. It is believed that most, if not all, spam cancellers
use these terms and definitions in their work; however, many other
people use the terms inappropriately, which leands to confusion in
discussions. This is an informal FAQ aimed at clarity and
understanding, not anal-retentive correctness.

Excessive Multi-Posting (EMP) has the same meaning as the term "spam"
usually carries, but it is more accurate and self-explanatory. EMP
means, essentially, "too many separate copies of a substantively
identical article."

"Substantively identical" means that the material in each article is
sufficiently similar to construe the same message. The signature is
included in the determination. These are examples of substantively
identical articles:

* byte-for-byte identical messages
* otherwise identical postings minimally customized for each group
it appears in.
* advertising the same service.
* articles that consist solely of the same signature
* articles which consist of inclusions of other user's postings,
but are otherwise identical.

Cross-posting means that a single message appears in more than one
group. Most newsreaders allow you to specify more than one group in a
posting.

Excessive Crossposting (ECP) refers to where a "lot" of postings to
more than one group each have been made.

Some people think cross-posting is "bad". In and of itself, it's good
behaviour - it allows you to reach more groups with less impact on the
net. Especially if you set the Followup-to: header to one group. It is
"bad" when it's done to attack newsgroups or provoke flamewars (like
cross-posting how to cook a cat between alt.tasteless and
rec.pet.cats), but this is beyond the scope of this FAQ.

This author considers the term "spam" to mean excessive postings of EMP
and/or ECP variety. That is, "spam", is a generic term for several
different things. The term was originally supposed to mean EMPs only,
but most people use "spam" to mean "any excessive posting".

A spam, EMP, or ECP therefore refers to a posting that has been posted
to many places. There is a consensus that there is a point at which it
is abuse, and is subject to advisory cancellation.
