But my definition of evolution is.
Simply stated, evolution may be defined as an imagined process by which living things formed by themselves without a creator (God) and then somehow improved by themselves,
Thats now I now define evolution. I am not lying.

And I believe you, that this is YOUR definition of evolution.
Of course, that has not the slightest bearing on what it actually is. I'm not lying, either.

And I now define yellow to mean blue. Ha! Unfortunately for him a definition is only meaningful when there's a consensus of relevant people agreeing to it. Like, oh, I don't know, the scientists that study it.
Does he really think it matters how he personally defines evolution?
EDIT: Drat, David D.G. beat me to it. And put it much more succinctly too.
Well, if you take out 'imagined', that is the general idea...
I don't totally agree with it either, but heck, people have done an awful lot of research based on logic, deduction, and a ton of evidence... I think their science is more reliable than a book written in small sections by stoned beardies, which were subsequently compiled and abridged by people with agendas.
“But my definition of evolution is.

So, you make sure to define it as unreal.
See, as an atheist i would definitely say that the belief in god is false, but i would not define ‘gods’ as imaginary beings.
Then again, I don’t HAVE to gatekeep my superstition.
“by which living things formed by themselves without a creator (God)”
Just full up on poisoning the well, aren’t you?
The science of evolutionary theory, like all science, is naturalistic and doesn’t have any opinion on the supernatural Or any gods.
Science says things formed. YOU want to say ‘because god,’ that your issue. Not the science.
“and then somehow improved by themselves,”
Improved is a judgment call. The science says changed, not necessarily improved.
“Thats now I now define evolution. I am not lying.”
No just self-centered, self-absorbed, dumber than a fossilized trilobite, and wrong. But i would never accuse you of lying…
Confused?
