Revision as of 17:13, September 22, 2013
, 17:13, September 22, 2013"Evolution" can refer to anything from trivial changes within a preexisting gene pool to the creation of entirely forms as the result of natural selection acting on random mutations
'''Definitions of evolution''' include (a) "change over time", (b) [[common ancestry]], and (c) the idea that unguided [[natural selection]] acting on random variations and mutations is sufficient to explain the appearance of design.

[[Richard Dawkins]] said that biology is the study of complicated things that give the appearance of having been designed for a purpose. "We have design without a designer".
