mLine 3:
Line 3: − − Evolution also teaches that adaptations,. or traits, that are more likely to survive in an environment are passed down to offspring, allowing such traits to become more common. This can be observed in many cases, such as a baby animal inheriting traits of its parents. Suppose that certain configurations of nerves in the eye allowed for better eyesight. This animal would be more likely to survive because it would be able to see food and avoid predators better than other animals that could not see as well. The animal would survive to reproduce, and pass down its traits to the next generation.

The word is used differently in different circles of thought. Generally [[Young Earth Creationism|Young Earth Creationists]] use it as a reference to what they believe is the [[world view]] or [[presupposition]] aspect of the scientific theory of evolution. The term is not necessarily used as a world view unto itself, but is more based off of and is possibly an extension of a variety of other world views including [[Materialism]], [[Naturalism]]<ref>[http://www.talkorigins.org/indexcc/CA/CA601.html CA601: Evolution and Naturalism] - TalkOrigins Archive</ref>, and [[Humanism]] in its broadest sense. Many that hold to the theory of evolution have been known to be [[Atheism|atheists]] as well, but this does not represent the entirety or whole.
