Continent do not refer to if people are living or not living there. The reason why there are so many continents are because each continent 'moves' by themselves. Continent actually 'floats' on earth, so after a 100 years, actually the continents will move a little by a little depending on the theory of plate movements.

Whatever dude. North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa, Antarctica, and Australia. This is stuff we learned in elementary school. Why are you arguing it now?
Just because no one lives in Antarctica, that does not mean it is not a continent.

Depends on your definition. North and South America are biologically different, as is Antarctica.

The definition of "continent" says nothing about the population living on it. Besides there are people living in Antartica now so even your definition doesn't stand.
