Only answer if you do not believe in evolution. I want to know what non-believers think evolution is (definition/explanation of it).

NO no no....I mean who you think scientific theory stated is....not your opinion of it but what it actually is, what it states.

PEOPLE: please read the question. I want to know what you think evolution states and what you think evolution actually is stated as by scientists. I am trying to see if people who don't support evolution even understand what the theory states. So far you have proven to me that none of you actually know and just opinions about it. Please show me otherwise.

AND. How do you know if it doesn't line up with the Word if you don't even know what it is. Are you relying on others to tell you what to think?

Basically I believe that it teaches that creatures became more complex over time because of natural selection.
Amino acids and proteins were formed in the pre-life stew of elements, chemicals, and processes. These amino acids and proteins combined somehow to form life. Mutations of this life occurred and the forms that fit into the environment better survived and the ones that didn't died out.
This is very simplistic of course but I think that's the bare bones gist of it.

evolution is double sided. there is the shown form, micro. which you have sited as small mutations. whether mutations are extra in many cases risky or at maximum suitable impartial. and mutations for sort are nevertheless in the classification of micro evolution. macro is diverse. macro is the place monkeys stepped forward into human beings. an entire mess of purposes would desire to be created and or halted for that to ensue. the main obtrusive status and strolling on 2 legs. the entire skeletal shape has to evolve and that isn't liable to declare the least. why would that ensue on your "organic decision?' "you may not deny that commonly, an offspring could have a mutation in its genes. some examples of mutation in human beings are albinos, those with lacking limbs, extra digits and sickle-cellular anemia" as you your self pronounced all of those mutations are unfavorable. cite a speciation mutation that facilitates a fly to grow to be something different than an fly? you may not. there are no. chihuahua's and great danes are nevertheless an identical species. you may breed for minor adaptive mutations and get the needed result. smart making plans must be positioned into it nonetheless. chihuahua's did no longer ensue by ability of twist of destiny. so why would human beings? in summation, all of us denying evolution in micro-evolutionary phrases needs to do slightly extra learn. yet swallowing the entire concept of evolution and all that it involves makes me think of you may desire to three extra learn too. there is logical textile available on the existence of God. you may say the logic is fallacious. however the theories of evolution and origins that exist for nonbelievers in a deity are fallacious too. i think in God no longer evolution and my foundation for it somewhat is extra training.

It is what it has always been proclaimed to be: a theory.
An idiotic heroin-haze induced theory in my opinion.
But if someone wants to believe that their relatives evolved from primordial slime, a squid, a lizard, a bird, a shooting star, an explosion, monkeys, apes, or the hypothetical knuckle-dragging Neanderthal then I presume they KNOW their relatives far better than I, but NONE of my relatives evolved from any of the above. My relatives were created by Almighty God.

Good luck with that. Mostly you will only get ignorant answers, like you have gotten so far. Especially the guy who says micoevolution isn't actually evolution and then goes on to put Drdino aas a reference.

When I think of evolution, I think of Darwin's evolution which is a godless creation.
The only thing is, they have never been able to tie all the species to a single trunk-line. They draw it in their books, but they do not have a single piece of evidence to prove what they are claiming.
Many of the bones that have been found were bone fragments like a piece of a jaw bone, and that does not create a new species or prove that one species comes from another species.

o.k here you go!
It's a state religion you know that....Why is it that this question you asked with no reference to GOD in any way, compels so many people to refer to GOD and criticize you? Simple! To question evolution is to question ones faith! It's a religion. listen to the circler reasoning, #1 evolution is a FACT #2 it is a well tested THEORY #3 it could be PROVEN WRONG TOMORROW, never the less, it is still a FACT.
Definition #1 Theory
noun
1. Abstract reasoning: conjecture, speculation. See belief/unbelief, thoughts.
2. A belief used as the basis for action: hypothesis. See belief/unbelief, thoughts.
3. Something taken to be true without proof: assumption, postulate, postulation, premise, presupposition, supposition, thesis. See reason/unreason.
Definition #2 Fact
noun
1. That which is known about a specific subject or situation. data, information, intelligence, knowledge, lore. See knowledge/ignorance.
2. Something having real, demonstrable existence: actuality, event, phenomenon, reality. See real/imaginary.
3. One of the conditions or facts attending an event and having some bearing on it: circumstance, detail, factor, particular. See real/imaginary.
4. The quality of being actual or factual: actuality, factuality, factualness, reality, truth. See real/imaginary.
So when did theory become a fact? So when did fact remain fact even if it is proven wrong tomorrow?
IT NEVER DID!
nevertheless
In conclusion nothing is new under the sun:
Hitler knew that "[a]ll propaganda has to be popular and has to adapt its spiritual level to the perception of the least intelligent of those towards whom it intends to direct itself." His propaganda specialist, Joseph Goebbels, noted that "[i]f you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it." Goebbels then stated what has become a truism for all modern political systems: "[i]t is the absolute right of the State to supervise the formation of public opinion," urging underlings to "[t]hink of the press as a great keyboard on which the government can play."
Who can read these admonitions and not find in them a reflection of how modern politics is played out upon the minds of the "least intelligent" who will "come to believe" a "big enough" lie, particularly if you "keep repeating it?" Consider how "the press" has allowed itself to become "a great keyboard on which the government can play" in its efforts "to supervise the formation of public opinion."
If the dynamics by which the state manipulates public opinion in furtherance of destructive, power-enhancing ends are comparable to similar processes employed by earlier totalitarian regimes, such analogies ought to be taken seriously. Those who make such well-reasoned comparisons are performing a genuine service to all of humanity by discovering, from the past, the consequences that are implicit in current behavior.
Hope this shed light on the government religion know as evolution.
Definition #3 Religion
A cause, principle, or activity pursued with zeal or conscientious devotion.

First and foremost it is not what the Bible teaches. The Bible says that the things that are visible did not come from things which can be seen. Evolution teaches the exact opposite of that.
Heb 11:3 By faith we understand that the worlds were prepared by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things which are visible.

It is a theory that takes more faith to believe, than it does to believe intelligent design. And this is the opinion of many scientist as well.

I think evolution is a way for people to explain their existence without involving a deity. Or to get grant money for more research.
