Agree to not agree?
So are we all agreed that we can't agree on a single definition for the Theory of Evolution?

Of course we could, pretty much any of the definitions would do - if forced. But why would anyone want or need to, when to do so would remove useful information and the ability of different groups of people to understand it?

Je suis Charlie. Je suis Ahmed. Je suis Juif. Je suis Parisien. I am Mancunian. I am Brum. I am London.

So that's the magic silver bullet, is it? If we can't all agree on a letter-by-letter, one-size-fits-all definition of evolution for all occasions, that's somehow a significant argument against evolution?
