(Bacon and Darwin) What is evolution? Evolution is the gradual development of something. Evolution is technically a theory although there is massive amounts of scientific evidence that it is real. Science has proved many parts of the theory right. Charles Darwin, a famous scientist, was one of the first to present this theory. “The theory of evolution by natural selection, first formulated in Darwin's book "On the Origin of Species" in 1859, is the process by which organisms change over time as a result of changes in heritable physical or behavioral traits.” (Lande) Basically, he believes that the earth is millions of years old and that everything living on earth adapted into what they are today.

Natural selection is the main topic they have a hard time agreeing with because it goes against what is stated in the Bible. “Evolution by natural selection is one of the best substantiated theories in the history of science, supported by evidence from a wide variety of scientific disciplines, including paleontology, geology, genetics and developmental biology.” (Koza) Clearly, the idols of theater question Darwin’s theory of evolution the most out of the four
