Evolution is a change in the gene pool of a population over time. A gene is a hereditary unit that can be passed on unaltered for many generations. The gene pool is the set of all genes in a species or population. -linked article-

That of course is not the definition of evolution. The above is a cowardly mistatement of it. You cannot create new genetic information by just shuffling genetic information around. A bacteria has some 600 genes and some one million base pairs of DNA, a human has some 30,000 genes and some 3 billion base pairs of DNA. You cannot get from a bacteria to a human (as evolution asserts) by just shuffling around the genes of a bacteria and you know it and everybody knows it.
