But once we realize that evolution is simply "a process that results in heritable changes in a population spread over many generations"

I narrowed it down to this last statement as the rest was so much wasted space. First, ("heritable changes in a population spread (whatever spread means) over many generations"); only describes an observation; therefore not a theory. Tacking on "a process" at the beginning doesn't get you any farther than you were before and fails the test of the Scientific Method.

Why don't you describe what it is you want?

I must leave you for the evening, to attend to the needs of Darwin Central, which sees all, knows all, and controls all.

Oh please. You cannot assume that because a FReeper poster, however knowledgeable, does not write the definitive explanation of everything on every post, that omissions constitute an actual omission in the science itself.
