"Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution."
T. Dobzhansky
Why do we need a new flu shot every year? Evolution.
How do insects become resistant to pesticides? Evolution.
Why do people wear glasses? Evolution.
Why do we have a muscle in our calf that is useless, but which serves for grasping with the feet in primates? Evolution.
Why do we have a big toe? Evolution.
How about wisdom teeth? Appendix? Evolution.
Why do we get goosbumps? Evolution.
Why do dolphin embryos have legs? Evolution.
Why do whales have hipbones and leg bones? Evolution.
Why do snakes have leg buds? Evolution.
Why do human embryos have tails and gill folds? Evolution.
How do we explain the precise similarities between human insulin and chimp insulin, and the precise differences between those and lemur insulin? Evolution.
Why is human DNA and chimp DNA 98.5% identical? Evolution.
... and on, and on, and on.
*That* is how evolution is the foundation for understanding key concepts in biology.

Dianetics is a different form of religious thinking.If you think religion is Science Fiction. Then you do not deserve a answer.
Key thought evolution is the aftermath of Creation.As something needs to be created before it can start to undergo any type of evolution.The scientific fields are trying to understand the process through physical means.

Evolution is nothing like Dianetics, which is fiction just like the bible. Evolution has been proven time and time again in many different ways. It's not our fault that you can't reason it out by reading what science (not science FICTION) has provided.

Evolution is a theory.
Biology is a field of study.
When you use the theory to influence your field of study, the result is a flawed and biased study. Science works in the opposite direction.
(And evolution is considerably different from Dianetics, which is a religion.)
