Here you go, one of the first definitions I web-searched,

For your enjoyment,
"Cosmology is the branch of astronomy which deals with the origin and formation of the general structure of the universe.
Abiogenesis refers to first life - the production of living organisms from inanimate matter.
Micro-evolution or speciation refers to populational and species change through time. There are many published examples of speciation, if by the development of a new "species" we mean the development of a new population of individuals which will not breed with the original population to produce fertile offspring. Micro-evolution is a scientific fact which no one, including creationists, dispute.
Macro-evolution or general evolution refers the progression to more complex forms of life. The mechanisms of macro-evolution, including whether or not micro-evolution over a long enough time leads to macro-evolution, can be regarded as a "research topic" (Berra 1990, 12)."

You are citing a creation science website. It is worthless as an authority on science.
You are starting to sound like a troll. Are you sure you aren't a returned bannee?
And that link is from a Creationist website...which proves my point....that it is only the creationists that insist that the beginning and formation of the earth, the moon, the sun, the stars, etc, must be included in the theory of evolution...
You have proved my very point...thanks...
CreationScience insists that the beginnings of the universe be included in the study of the theory of evolution...
Its a creationist site, after all, what else would one expect...
Thanks to all for a very spirited discussion...time for me to leave now, and I am certain that the thread will continue on, and when I return tomorrow, probably late afternoon, or early evening, there will be many more new things to talk about...
Everyone have a fine evening....

That is a creationist website. You have been told earlier in this thread that the only group to include Cosmology and Abiogenesis in evolution are creationists.
Even that site differentiated between 'common' usage of the term and 'scientific' usage of the term. When discussing the scientific evidence for Evolution we precisely use the scientific definition.
You are expanding the definition to include the BB and the origin of life to enable you to claim atheism as the base for evolution. You a dissembling.
