I agree to the confusion over definitions. Personally, I never use the word
evolution. My disagreement is with "random mutation and natural selection as
an explanation of macro evolution". Nevertheless, even if all definitions
were agreed upon, the disagreement between people who argue on both sides of
this controversy would be real. Those who accept the possibility of
teleology as part of reality and those who don't. I am agnostic about the
existence of teleology, and doubt it will ever be demonstrated to the
satisfaction of any atheist. I argue on the "creationist" side because I
dispute the authority of science to state that teleology does not exist.
