    That is the definition of evolution. I agree with that, but that doesn't make it truth.

    I had people both at school and at church try to indoctrinate me, but I eventually came to my own conclusion about things. And by the way, the theory of evolution makes MUCH more sense than the Creationist myth!

    The school where I got my indoctrination was run by the church,luckily it was a Catholic school so no denial of accepted biological facts(except for the whole human parthenogenesis thing)

    Sorry buddy,I don't answer science questions in the Religion & Spirituality section.

    False: Evolution is the process where creatures with unique augmentations may or may not be better adapted for changes in their environment, and increase the likelihood of passing on their genes, spreading their augmentation and possibly leading to new species.

    They tried to indoctrinate me into creationism, but I was too smart for them.
