(the above is from a "definition of evolution" from the web)

But what are heritable units that change in an environment as measured in science?
It is DNA. And the DNA mutation rates are readily measured by sequencing the genome.
There is also epigenetic phenomena that explain how phenotypes are diverse...

The fact is, if you have had a vaccination for measles/mumps/rubella, then you are practicing evolution... (ADAPTATION)
|
Adaptation is a manifestion of evolution as a process of Natural Selection...
Natural Selection occurs through 5 main processes... One that most know is
survival of the fittest. The ability of a population to survive given the damage of its environments...
Adaptation is another process of Natural Selection--we just deal with it... Have you ever had measles/mumps/rubella or diptheria/pertussis toxin? Polio? If you have and you know you would die from it without a vaccine, then wouldn't you find a way to
adapt with your higher ordered thinking that a mere microbe with genetic information and LIVE?

If you eat any food from a regular grocery chained market, then you are practicing evolution... (SHOPPING)
|
Most food from all large grocery chains are treated for sterility. Unless it says organic, all foods are probably irradiated or animals treated with antibiotics so that their food products would be safe for human consumption...
Without that treatment, many folks during the depression died due to starvation because crops failed and animals died to disease--all caused by human's over farming in the great plains states...
The lessons learned from that with FDR's "new deal" program made it possible for the farming collective to avoid an environmental catastrophe that was caused by humans...

If you are driving a car, then you are practicing evolution... (TRANSPORTATION)
|
The idea of a perpetual motion machine is an engineering feat that no one ever imagined. Then the advent of petroleum based fuels to propel a car transportation made it possible to things that could even fly...
Man is not suppose to fly, otherwise he'd be given wings...
However, if you have been in an airplane recently, man has found a way to defeat gravity for a time period, at least...

I am not saying for a teacher to "preach" the "puritanical view to science." I am saying for teachers not to teach a theory as fact. EVOLUTION IS A THEORY.
|
I wish it was just about a "theory" that unsupported without facts... But what is a theory? And how does one do science?
Now, if you WANT to argue that structure, then science must adhere to some constructs that "ID" cannot cross without the "politicizing" of it, which hinders invention, innovation and evolution...
Like I said, God could care less about what humans think with what was done...
God is more interested in "Revelation" of the human Spirit...
And even that is being "mapped" to some neurological transmitters that are proteins, which originate from heritable units--as DNA...
