And evidence came to change that meaning.
Like evidence, or theoretical consideration can change the meaning of
any terms used, including God.
If someone now wrote using "universe" to mean "a tortoise on the top

Yes, and when religion is imposed to people: it means deliberate
obfuscation.
The God of the abramanic religion is closer to the god of plotinus
than most people thought. They have just added the "fairy tales",
which is usually not believed by the kind of people interested in
science and having enough maturity.
