We absolutely do not need a legal definition. However, that isn't the point.
We have the so-called science crowd denying basic evolutionary biology. These are the same set of people (not all of course) who want to criminalize skepticism of man-made global warming.
This is the kind of shit that makes you wanna jab an ice pick through your skull...
People are trying to crimanlize Global warming skepticism?
Scientists are doing this?
Yes. Disturbing, isn't it?

Letter to President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, and OSTP Director Holdren
September 1, 2015
Dear President Obama, Attorney General Lynch, and OSTP Director Holdren,
As you know, an overwhelming majority of climate scientists are convinced about the potentially serious adverse effects of human-induced climate change on human health, agriculture, and biodiversity. We applaud your efforts to regulate emissions and the other steps you are taking. Nonetheless, as climate scientists we are exceedingly concerned that America’s response to climate change – indeed, the world’s response to climate change – is insufficient. The risks posed by climate change, including increasing extreme weather events, rising sea levels, and increasing ocean acidity – and potential strategies for addressing them – are detailed in the Third National Climate Assessment (2014), Climate Change Impacts in the United States. The stability of the Earth’s climate over the past ten thousand years contributed to the growth of agriculture and therefore, a thriving human civilization. We are now at high risk of seriously destabilizing the Earth’s climate and irreparably harming people around the world, especially the world’s poorest people.
Now these "same" people want to deny the very basic proven science of evolutionary biology. Strange.
