Doctrine of Evolution

The Doctrine of Evolution is the scientific explanation for how all living things have changed over time. It suggests that species develop through small, gradual changes (mutations) over many generations, driven by natural selection—where traits that help survival and reproduction become more common. This process results in the diversity of life we see today, from simple bacteria to complex animals. Evolution explains common ancestry, meaning many species share a common origin, and highlights that life is dynamic and constantly adapting to changing environments.
