It seems a not uncommon trend for creationists to put forth a various definitions for a word, then insist that the one they choose is what scientists really mean when using it, no matter how much evidence to the contrary is offered.

"A common but dangerous approach to the study of any body of unfamiliar material is to begin by adopting a definition of terminology, either one's own or another's, and to apply this terminology to one's findings even if the two are not compatible."
