For those of y'all who reject evolution, i suspect that often you're not very familiar with it. But i could be wrong. So my question is:
Can you share with me your genuine understanding of what is meant by evolution and how it works? Don't look it up, just tell me what your understanding of the theory is.
Not interested in folks who accept evolution. Although i hope you have a decent grasp of the theory as well or you're no better off than evolution-denying creationists.

@Pikachu Yup. The truth is the founding prophet or master either never dwelled into science of evolution or when they did people misquoted them.
Jesus barely preached for one year before they crucified him. Wish he had been with us more. He focused on the life then and there. I think it's because, that part of the society need to be taken care of first.
It is same in most Semitic religions. Those Prophets didn't actually reject evolution. Just they didn't address it.
In the Indian spirituality, Evolution is mentioned in details actually. And in lots of places. But the focus is on the spiritual evolutions. If you have heard about dashavataram, it pictures the 10 states of evolution. From fish like creature of hyper intuitive human beings.
So I believe it's the society that rejects the evolution.
Imagine Jesus speaking about evolution to those 12 fisherman. They wouldn't understand it. They would gain nothing out of it. Instead he gave them fishes so they could feed first. Hunger is something anyone understands.
Then he taught the simple codes of life that would evolve them. Like Love your neighbour...so on. That was a very wise move in my opinion.
@Pikachu Sometimes people can come up with weird ideas of what salvation means. The judgement day when all the dead rise. The faithful going to heaven and so on.
I really doubt if that was something that was originally taught.
