A scientific Theory (a Theory in science being the closest to certianty possible, wihile remaining scientific) That does NOT in ANY way:

speculate on the origin of life on earth or otherwise (see biogenisis)

speculate on the origin of the universe

speculate on anyting but the prosess of genetic change in a population

state that any instantant transformations from one spicies to another has ever occured

state that humans cam from monkeys (it does however state that we share a common ansestor see Ape)

detail how a geneome could change in a single generation (evolution happens over multiple generations)

state that humans are in any way above or below any other form of life

state that as spicies evolve, they become bigger, 'better' or stronger, only more adapted.

state that there is no God

state that I hate most of the other, misinformed definitions (although this is true)

affiliate its self with the opening of penut butter jars or puddels being struck by lightning.

affiliate it'self with nonbiological or non-self replicating matter such as boeing 747s and scrap

allow its self to be defined by the majority of the definitions on the first few pages

hate you (but I might)

comment any anyting remotly metaphysical like the soul
That just about ruels most of the top rated definitions, and that is my point, find out what evolution is before considering yourself in a position to define it. On the subject of irriducable complexity. here's a laman's guide to the evolution of the eye:

An organism developes a cell/cluster of cells sensitive to light through a random mutation, this allows the organism to distinguish between being in light and dark, giving it a few obviouse advantages over it's competing organisms.

This then developes into a line of cells, giving the population the advantage of detecting the direction this light is coming from.

The line then becomes gradually more concave as the spicies developes, giving it more and more sense of directon of the light.

the cells then concave to the point of being a ball with a 'biological appature' allowing the spicies to eventually see basic images.

the cells then evolve to detect different wavelenghts of light (colour) ect. ect.

Doesn't Evolution say we call come from monkeys?
No.

Doesnt Evolution say that all the dirt in the universe was condensed into a region smaller than a period at the end of this sentence?
Absolutly fucking not!!! EVER!!!!!

A phrase used to descibe how much humans suck........obviously.
Humans suck, most think they are more superior than every other animal on this planet, most dont even see themselves as animals, but they are, they're just a biological accident. Some act pretentious and sophisticated and call it culture to mask the fact that they have lost all relations with nature and have now become machines. Some hate nudity, but what they dont realise is that its the most real thing in their fake, sad, blinkered "lives". If humans hadn't slowed down their own natural selection then those pathetic excuse for humans would be dead and their corpses would feed real animals. ( If you found that sentence offensive then you are one of those humans, its not offensive, its real!) Take it back to basics.

1. Gradual change in life over millions of years, confirmed by both genetics and fossils. Anyone who's seen the evidence and still denies it likely has religious motivations.
2. Something that is clearly going downhill in the Bush family.
Homo habilis was a major milestone in the evolution from ape to man.

Many people believe Charles Darwin was a racist. He was not and that has been proven time and time again. Charles Darwin was a British person, born February 12 1809, described by himself as "A very ordinary boy, rather below the common standard of intelect." Charles Darwin might have been a country parson like his father thought, although a quick quirk of fate kept him from that turnout, when a botanist recommended Darwin for an appointment as a naturalist on the H.M.S. Beagle (without pay!). Darwin revolutionalised evolution when he wrote a book in 1858 called "The Origin of the Species" and published it in 1859. His friend, with whom he hadn't talked about evolution at all, sent him a journal which was very much like Darwin's book! Darwin was shocked and quickly published his book before his friend published his, and it sold out on the first day. Darwin has been hated by many Christians throughout the past century and a half. Darwin has been said to have "put god out of a job". Darwin quietly gave up Christianity. Many Christians find room for both God and Darwin, but most Christians think Darwin was a heretic. I am a Darwinist, and am currently running a petition to make April 19th a religious holiday, as Darwin died April 19th, 1882, after being bedridden for a very long time.
There are three major kinds of Darwinism...
Religious Darwinism, where religious people find room for their god(s) and Darwin, and
Agnostic Darwinism, where people don't disbelieve in god but they believe in Darwin's theories, and
Athiest Darwinism (me), where people don't believe in any god but believe in Darwin.
Athiest Darwinism is probably the most practiced. I believe Darwin was right because human and chimpanzee DNA only differs by about 2%. Also, there has been definite proof of things more than 6000 years old (when Christians think the world was made), such as Dinosaur fossils.
Darwin, Australia is a place.
My argument for Athiest Darwinism is that... How come there isn't peace and love and all that stuff? Because god left us to our own divices? So after the creation of the universe god decided to lie on the couch, have a beer and watch some T.V.? So god's Homer Simpson? We're screwed.
Please read Zoology of the Voyage of the Beagle, The Origin of the Species, and the Decent of Man, all by Charles Darwin, for more information.

Curve on San Francisco Bay Bridge at Yerba Buena Island fitted in late 2009 which challenges the 200 thousand plus daily drivers with Darwins Law of "natural selection".
In the two months after the "S" curve was built into the Bay Bridge; 16 million vehicles crossed the bridge with only 44 accidents at Darwins Curve.
