-'''Evidence of evolution''' consists of all historical and modern facts which suggest the validity of [[microevolution]]. There is no physical evidence for [[macroevolution]] which is also referred to as the general [[theory]] of [[evolution]].  The three aspects of macroevolution which must be proven are: first, that the various species of life have appeared gradually over the course of time (i.e., hundreds of millions of years); second, that all forms of life have a common ancestor (see [[common descent]]); third, that the cause of the first two aspects can be accounted for entirely by natural means (see [[natural selection|theory of evolution by natural selection]]).
