Learning Evolution

In this thread I learn evolution. Remember. For me and the reader in general, best to keep it brief; concise.

I'll start with a question. What exactly is evolution?

Edited To Add: All off topic posts will be deleted in this thread. Stick to the subject of Evolution.

By the way. I think it should be made clear to you, that evolution is [u]NOT[/u] the study of how life began on earth. Evolution happens to living organisms, the origin of life is abiogenesis. Different science, and should not be confused with the other. There is evidence to support it, but it’s early yet, and they’ve only begun to collect the data.
It will be a while before they get a handle on it. Evolution is very solid nonetheless.

@DocSavage I'm aware that evolution isn't the same as abiogenesis. In fact I think you and I have discussed that. I'm not confused about that. This discussion is about evolution, not abiogenesis.

Well to be fair you [i]have[/i] cited abiogenesis as a reason you don't accept evolution.

@AkioTsukino
You’re never very clear about what it is you’re trying to say. Just covering my bases.
Still can’t see what you find so hard about evolution. We’ve made it as simple as we can for you. What exactly is it you don’t understand?

@Pikachu I don't accept evolution because I think it's stupid. This thread isn't a debate.

That's fine.
Just pointing out that while you assured docsavage that you understood that abiogenesis is a distinct issue to evolution, you have cited abiogenesis as an issue with evolution.
Maybe there was just some miscommunication in that area.

@DocSavage Indeed.

He has the answer: Evolution is change in the frequency and distribution of alleles

He is frantically ignoring it

Yes, it's fair, but it isn't the case in this thread.

The OP was pretty simple.

It's in the presentation. That will become clearer as we go forward.
