Do I need to post another alternative creation story for your amusement and edification?

I didn't find it particularly amusing and so far you have not stated anything that would edify.

What I would prefer is an answer to what should be an easy question; What is the "Theory of Evolution"? For someone as knowlegable as you, this should be easy. Unless of course you are not up to the task?

Incapable of clicking on links? Okay. Here's one paragraph on the subject:

In biology, evolution is a change in the traits of living organisms over generations, including the emergence of new species. Since the development of modern genetics in the 1940s, evolution has been defined more specifically as a change in the frequency of alleles (alternative forms of the same gene) in a population from one generation to the next. In other fields evolution is used more generally to refer to any process of change over time.

Check this link for a pretty good explanation. Then get back to me with any other questions you may have.

Interesting. I am entering he seventh day since I asked ID advocates what it is they would teach if they were in charge of schools. So far the only response I have gotten is that ID would teach that science doesn't know everything about how evolution happened.

What I am looking for is a statement about what ID stands for in the areas of science not directly related to natural selection. Are there any elements of content from mainstream science that ID agrees with?

What is the "Theory of Evolution"?

Observation: Interbreeding populations gradually change over multiple generations in response to pressures of natural selection in relationship to heritable (or genetic) differences of the individuals.

Theory: When an interbreeding population splits into two separate groups, both groups will gradually change over multiple generations in different ways until they are no longer the same.
