It is also the one that all biologists that I know use , and of course the meaning definition of what evolutionary biologists mean when they talk about evolution should be determined by evolutionary biologists themselves . It seems kind of an empty exercise to invent a definition that is n't what evolutionary biologists mean and then argue against it in an effort to disprove evolution . Let me put it this way , do you think that it would be acceptable in a discussion of Christianity if I were allowed to invent my own definition of what a Christian means when he talks about salvation ? So please , please tell us about some of these changing defintions . Like I said , I 've been using the same one for over 40 years and was n't aware that it had changed ."
