"It is indeed remarkable that [The Theory of Evolution] has progressively taken root in the minds of researchers following a series of discoveries made in different spheres of knowledge.
"The convergence, neither sought nor provoked, of results of studies undertaken independently from each other constitutes in itself a significant argument in favour of this theory."--Pope John Paul, Oct. 24, 1996

EVOLUTION BASICS
Here's a paragraph to get you started:
1. What is evolution?
Biological evolution refers to the cumulative changes that occur in a population over time. These changes are produced at the genetic level as organisms' genes mutate and/or recombine in different ways during reproduction and are passed on to future generations. Sometimes, individuals inherit new characteristics that give them a survival and reproductive advantage in their local environments; these characteristics tend to increase in frequency in the population, while those that are disadvantageous decrease in frequency. This process of differential survival and reproduction is known as natural selection. Non-genetic changes that occur during an organism's life span, such as increases in muscle mass due to exercise and diet, cannot be passed on to the next generation and are not examples of evolution.

Intelligent Design Creationism, my take on it
Is
Intelligent Design Science?
Nope. It's an argument for the existence of God. God is outside of
nature and science is only a study of nature.
