Evolution
The definition
Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale
evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations). Evolution helps us to understand the history of life.
The explanation
Biological evolution is not simply a matter of change over time. Lots of things change over time: trees lose their leaves, mountain ranges rise and erode, but they aren't examples of biological evolution because they don't involve descent through genetic inheritance.
The central idea of biological evolution is that all life on Earth shares a common ancestor, just as you and your cousins share a common grandmother.
Through the process of descent with modification, the common ancestor of life on Earth gave rise to the fantastic diversity that we see documented in the fossil record and around us today. Evolution means that we're all distant cousins: humans and oak trees, hummingbirds and whales.
The history of life: looking at the patterns
The central ideas of evolution are that life has a history — it has changed over time — and that different species share common ancestors.
Here, you can explore how evolutionary change and evolutionary relationships are represented in "family trees," how these trees are constructed, and how this knowledge affects biological classification. You will also find a timeline of evolutionary history and information on some specific events in the history of life: human evolution and the origin of life.

Not all the info its too long and would take me a while gathering it all up
But my question to you all is this.....
Do you believe that all living things evolved??
Do you think that evolution is just a theory to disprove the bible??

Evolution isn't just about biology
| Quote: |
A lot of people, myself included, have commented on how the new generations have totally different ideals to the previous ones. I’ve come to view this as an example of evolution. My belief is that we are continually evolving from day to day, mentally, emotionally, and also spiritually. Every time we learn something new it affects our previous knowledge base to a certain extent. As the world we live in changes, so must our perceptions and attitudes.
