JN, you have to read a question and try to understand it, before you answer. The question was: which kind of "evolution" are you talking about. your above answer goes well beyond of what the question was, and insted of simply stating "historical biological evolution", you go into a long description of some of its alledged properties and mechanisms and particulars, as you understand them.

you got to distinguish between a thing (phenomenon), and some of its possible properties. For example, if sombody askes you "what is that you have in your hand", you should say "a dollar bill", rather than say "a piece of papef accepted as tender for all debts, private and public, and backed by full faith of US treasury, that has a torn off corner and a smear of mustard on it". Those are particulars that may or may not be of interest in a later discusion, but the factual answer is "a dollar bill".

Contrary to your believes, historical biological evolution is not extremely high on the list of my concerns and core beliefs, and i certanly wouldn't care to evaluate the stature of everyone based on my perception of their opinion upon the validity of details of the above mentioned phenomenon.
