It is, essentially, change over time.
That's it. No dogmatic rejections, no complex explanations.
It is simply changes that occur over periods of time.

It is the successful adaptation to change through natural selection, usually through gradual and statistical success of given one characteristic over another (inheritence).

I think the classic science definition of "evolution" has always been the same.

What changes are the theories of how it is accomplished.

What it doesn't mean, or even address, is whether there is a God (biblical or otherwise), a heaven, a hell, a human soul, or little green men.
