Sounds like "evolution lite" to me; a definition you've chosen to adopt for yourself.-fester chugabrew-

This is not my definition. Even Creationists use it. From here:

Dishonestly turning around the whole meaning of the quote by deleting the words I have underlined. What this shows Condorman, is that you are a liar and very dishonest.

The Evolution Definition Shell Game

The term evolution often takes on several meanings in today's scientific circles, often in very misleading ways. A 1999 undergraduate college textbook on Biology states: "Evolution is a generation-to-generation change in a population's frequencies of alleles or genotypes. Because such a change in a gene pool is evolution on the smallest scale, it is referred to more specifically as microevolution"

The website I cited is a Creationist website that agrees with the definition of evolution I posted: A change in the alelle frequency of a population over time. The portion of the passage you omitted contains this information.

Except perhaps to the very young, the very ignorant, or the very dishonest, the definition of the word "evolution" is not in doubt. The validity of the theory is the subject of the debate. Many people can distinguish between the two usages. You may not be among them.
