Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The change and mutation in all forms of life over generations is known as evolution. Evolution proposes that biodiversity of life evolves by natural selection which occurs at independent rates according to each species. Evolutionary theory holds that all life descended from one common source that existed 3,500 million years ago. The controversy surrounding evolution concerns the struggle between scientific need for proof and religious need for faith and sacred beliefs. This book delves into the explanations of biological evolution and the history of evolutionary thought including Charles Darwin's seminal work, "On the Origin of Species." Also included is the creation-evolution controversy and discussion on the concept of common descent and the relationship between science and religion.
