Have you no shame? You call my posting of Darwin's definition of evolution my own strawman version? How disonest can you be??????
Here it is again, the definition of evolution as Darwin said it. Posted here because the evolutionists are too dishonest to even state what their theory is and constantly attack those who oppose it by saying 'that is not evolution'. It is the evolutionists who do not wish to be 'tied down' to a specific description because that way they can dance and shuffle their way out by saying 'that is not evolution, you are ignorant' (without ever saying what the theory is of course):
"It is interesting to contemplate an entangled bank, clothed with many plants of many kinds, with birds singing on the bushes, with various insects flitting about, and with worms crawling through the damp earth, and to reflect that these elaborately constructed forms, so different from each other, and dependent on each other in so complex a manner, have all been produced by laws acting around us. These laws, taken in the largest sense, being Growth with Reproduction; Inheritance which is almost implied by reproduction; Variability from the indirect and direct action of the external conditions of life, and from use and disuse;. a Ratio of Increase so high as to lead to a Struggle for Life, and as a consequence to Natural Selection, entailing Divergence of Character and the Extinction of less-improved forms. Thus, from the war of nature, from famine and death, the most exalted object which we are capable of conceiving, namely, the production of the higher animals, directly follows."
