Describes the descent over time with modification of a species, resulting from environmental factors or mechanisms of probability acting upon a population. Commonly used in reference to evolution and evolutionary biology.
Evolution is controversial among several religions including Christianity, more specifically the concept of Creationism. However, it should be noted that not all Christians refute evolution as a scientific fact, and furthermore those who accept evolution as a scientific fact are not to be assumed atheist. Using Christianity as an example, these previous statements fuel a debate that undermines both institutions of faith and the growing body of biological science.

A: "If you believe in God, how do you explain dinosaurs?"
B: "They evolved over millions of years and then went extinct."
A: "What about the book of Genesis?"
B: "I just take it as an allegory. After all, the Bible is meant to provide a life message, not a history lesson."
A: "Won't you go to Hell for not accepting what the Bible says?"
B: "If I appreciate evolution as a mechanism by which God shaped this world and us, why should he be angry?"

The idea that human behavior can be explained through evolution. An idea usually hated by SJWs. It shows that human nature is biological, and not all just a social construct, and can be used to explain things such as gender differences.
The human brain, like the human body, has been shaped through evolution, hence evolutionary psychology.

Get the evoluting mug.The final game featuring Some of the Street Fighters. This game was nowhere near evolution, and should have been called Capcom Fighting Basics.
This game might seem cool when you first play, but you will regret thinking that after a few months.

I loved this game when I played it, after a few months I nearly cried when playing it. Don't get the game. It SUCKS

Get the Capcom fighting evolution mug.A dis-proven hypothesis, which still has large support in the "scientific" community. This is purely due to the reason that people simply wants to believe in it, as it entitles them of no moral responsibility whatsoever.
The hypothesis says, that all species evolved over time from a single common ancestor, through gradual beneficial variations, which has accumulated over millions of years.
This hypothesis is invalid due to the following:
The eye, ear and any other irreducibly complex systems could not have evolved by "slight beneficial variations" as each part is completely and utterly worthless if simple one of the pieces are missing.
Many more scientific counter-evidences can be presented, though the above should be enough for any honest supporter of evolution to abandon the hypothesis.
This logical evidence disproving evolution has not posed much of a problem, due to the fact that supporters of the hypothesis have suspended the use of logic and rationality.
The supporters of evolution have, in their desperate search for evidence to back up the hypothesis, uncovered more than 100 million fossils, all showing that species appeared suddenly, out of nowhere and fully formed, not by gradual changes.
The few so called transitional forms that have been uncovered are simply birds with teeth claimed to come from dinosaurs, dogs with wider tails claimed to be whales and humans with slightly smaller skull capacity claimed to be apes.
These overwhelming empirical counter-evidences have caused the supporters of evolution to become fanatic in their belief, and the "scientific" hypothesis has moved away from science and turned into more of a religious belief.
Evolutionist propaganda can be found in any biology text book, where the dis-proven hypothesis is portrayed as fact. The propaganda authors loves to demonstrate the evolution of man from ape with a line, showing a chimp morphing into a human. This line is totally fictious, a product of the authors imagination and has no basis in the fossil record.
Many supporters find the lack of evidence so embarrassing, they have crafted fossils to prove it, such as piltdown man.
Facing this utter lack of evidence, and abundance of counter-evidences, the supporters of evolution simply attacks any one questioning the hypothesis, refusing any kind of debate and simply labeling the refuter as a "Religious fanatic!!!". They try to portray the hypothesis as a fact, and loves to bring forth completely unfounded claims such as "Evolution is as much a law as gravity".

Evolutionist: Man evolved from ape.
