For this question, the definitions of terms used are
Evolution = the development of species into different types of animals over very long periods of time. e.g. fish evolving into modern day birds. A fruit fly evolving into another species of fruit fly is too short sighted. Evolution here is taken to mean evolution from one type of animal to another type of animal and include theories in like character to the Cambrian Explosion.
Science = "systematic knowledge of the physical or material world gained through observation and experimentation." (www.dictionary.com)
Philosophy = "1. the rational investigation of the truths and principles of being, knowledge, or conduct. 2. the critical study of the basic principles and concepts of a particular branch of knowledge, esp. with a view to improving or reconstituting them." (www.dictionary.com)
I am aware the question has been asked before. However, I wanted to ask the question myself, providing concrete definitions of critical terms.
