Well, at least they know what the word "evolution" means. ;)
Words are just symbols, and even in science, where verbal precision is almost as important as in law, some of the most commonly used words have different meaning for different people. Usually the differences are subtle, but they can be subtle as when an airplane on a 4,000 mile journey starts the trip only one degree off course. The results can be dramatically off the mark in the end.

The fact that scientists can't even decide how many planets there are just goes to show that this whole "other planets" house of cards is about to fall! There's no evidence of anything other than the sun, the earth, and the moon, and this stuff about there being other planets in our solar system is just a theory that so-called scientists (read: atheist spawn of Hitler) adhere to as a religion!
