The types of evolution discussed by scientists are:
- Cosmic Evolution (the origin of space, time, matter and energy from nothing)
- Chemical Evolution (the development of the higher elements from hydrogen)
- Stellar and Planetary Evolution (the origin of stars and planets)
- Organic Evolution (the origin of organic life from a rock)
- Macro Evolution (the origin of major kinds)
- Micro Evolution (the variation within the kinds).
Only the sixth phase has been observed and documented. The first five are merely assumed. [1]
