Detailed explanation-1: -Evolution finds the origins of organisms developing along a 4.5 billion year span, and says that humans are a “new creation”. It does deny though that humans are the final creation, which contradicts the creationism theory where God created human beings in the last day, then resting after Creation was complete.
Detailed explanation-2: -Darwin’s theory of biological evolution tells us that all life on earth may have originated from a single, relatively simple reproducing creature living in the distant past. This idea is based on many observations, one of which is that when living things reproduce, children are often born with random new traits.
Detailed explanation-3: -The facts of evolution come from observational evidence of current processes, from imperfections in organisms recording historical common descent, and from transitions in the fossil record. Theories of evolution provide a provisional explanation for these facts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Evolution is not the same as adaptation or natural selection. Natural selection is a mechanism, or cause, of evolution. Adaptations are physical or behavioral traits that make an organism better suited to its environment. Heritable variation comes from random mutations.
