I saw somebody earlier put "Face it, Evolution is a Fact"
I don't want to see that here.
Respect other people, ok?
I'm for Evolution, but that doesn't just make it automaticly the freaking truth.
*sigh* a third time:
===
evolution |ˌevəˈloō sh ən| noun
The process by which different kinds of living organisms are thought to have developed and diversified from earlier forms during the history of the earth.
That's the dictionary definition of evolution. Now, when you think of a virus such as HIV, you get a perfect example of evolution. There are currently around 17 medicines for HIV, and not a single one of them can completely get rid of HIV, and I can tell you why.
You see, micro-organisms such as bacteria and virus' reproduce much faster than say, humans. HIV happens to reproduce millions of times a day, meaning that the rate of genetic variation have increased from little (like birth defects in humans) to abundant.
What is the importance of this? Well, the reason HIV meds work is because they kill the virus right? Well, the virus can change in it's genetic makeup. This means that the meds may no longer be effective at killing the virus because the virus has a different genetic makeup, one which is immune to the medicine. That means that when all the HIV virus' that aren't immune to the meds are gone, there is only the virus' that are immune.
Since virus' generally are asexual, that single virus that is immune to HIV can now replicate itself, and the virus is now immune to the medicine.
This genetic change is what we call evolution. Now, some may call it the "theory" of evolution, but evolution exist, whether you believe it or not. You don't need to look in the past to find out the truth, you need to look at the present, and future.
Virus' are only example I can provide right now, because they are the only type of organism that reproduce fast enough and in great enough number to have noticable genetic and physical changes. If you want more evidence, I have my biology notes that I can post that have every type of evolution and other crap related to it that furthur proves it exist.
Face it, evolution is fact.

This basically explains what evolution is in a simple manner for people that can't understand complicated scientific terms and theories. I could go through my notes and pull out all the word for word prhases that my teachers use, but I'm afraid that won't be very effective in this case.
As you can see from the example, evolution is fact. However, evolution does not prove anything wrong, it just proves that organisms change. I'm not saying that Adam and Eve didn't exist, I'm saying evolution does exist.
