Discussing this issue with you would be as futile as trying to reason with the religious mouth-breathers who use Conservapedia as their go-to reference.

They also prefer to use only those "well defined meanings to words" that suit their anti-atheist agenda.

Perhaps you should stick to studying the written word, your ability to comprehend what others think and believe seems to be ... limited.
