Object doesn't support addEventListener IE8 in jquery

Object doesn't support addEventListener IE8 in jquery

I am using Jquery 2.0.2 and I have an error in IE8:
Object doesn't support property or method 'addEventListener'
jquery.min.js, line 4 character 6105
Somehow all my codes are fine with chrome and firefox, except for ie8.
Getting these errors also resulted to:
The value of the property '$' is null or undefined, not a Function object
I included the query on top of other js files I have using:
<script
src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
I know Jquery2+ doesnt support IE8, but I dont want to use a lesser
version of Jquery.
