'''Structure'''
*Intro paragraph on the subject of evolution in brief, including briefly describing creation.
*History of the theory of evolution
:This includes persons who proposed similar theories prior to Darwin
:History of Darwin's theory (it should be restricted to the theory itself, and not his life)
*Structure of Darwin's theory
*Reactions to ''Origin of Species''
*Creation as pertaining to Genesis
:how it conflicts with evolution
*Support for both
:This subheading could detail each pillar of support for evolution (possibly eight pillars), along with following subheadings which are arguments against it.
*The Scientific Method
:This should detail how it has been used to support evolution, as well as being against it.
*References and links.

-The theory of evolution is a scientific theory which seeks to explain the existence of the myriad species which are found on the Earth today without resort to supernatural explanations (such as the intervention of a God or gods).  The theory stands in contrast to theories of [[Creationism|creation]] which propose that the all life was created through the direct actions of a God or gods as per, for example,  the account told in the [[Bible|Bible's]] book of Genesis. Accordingly, the theory of evolution is often strongly opposed by those who believe in creation.  Evolution stipulates life evolved (changed) over the course of many millions of years from a single-celled organism, while Creation holds that life appeared very recently, and without change.

 The theory of evolution is essentially based on two observations: (1) that all living things are involved in a struggle for survival; and (2) that all living things can pass on their characteristics to their offspring.  It relies upon the combined operation of two processes generally referred to as natural selection and genetic mutation.

 Natural selection proposes that in nature some living things will do better than others and, in doing so, will survive to produce more offspring.  As a result, over time the characteristics of those more successful individuals will become more common in the population.
-Genetic mutation is a process which allows for a physical difference to exist between an individual and its offspring.  Differences which arise as a result of genetic mutation are chance events and most such differences are unlikely to be advantageous to the offspring.

+===History of the concept of evolution===
 It has long been observed that parents can pass their physical characteristics on to their offspring.  Farmers have bred animals on that basis for many centuries and they, along with, for example, dog and horse breeders, continue to do so today.
@@ Line 39: / Line 39: @@
 The mechanism by which those characteristics are acquired and passed on was only discovered relatively recently, but theories have existed for some time.  One such theory was proposed by Jean Baptiste de Lamarck (1774 - 1829).  He believed that animals could acquire physical characteristics during their lifetime and then pass them on to their offspring<ref>''Philosophie zoologique ou exposition des considérations relatives à l'histoire naturelle des animaux'' (1809)</ref>.
