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?"

This is a verb that means to develop by a natural process. It's also a word that some Christians have a big problem with. The Bible says it was all created but thousands of scientists working over hundreds of years have kind of got the idea that things have 'evolved' to the way they are today - and worse still, will continue to evolve into the future.
You decide; one book written pre-science followed by a lot of people some of whom have very closed minds or, open your mind to a heap of facts and some genuinely original thinking.
