The '''definition of evolution''' is itself part of the controversy over evolution.
When defined simply as "the gradual appearance of new forms of life" over geological time, then 55% of Americans agree with [[biologists]] and [[geologists]] that evolution has really occurred. Disagreement on this point comes mainly from [[Young Earth Creationists]].
But when defined more narrowly as new forms of life coming into being "without any intervention from God", only 13% to 16% of Americans agree.
