Evolution

It all starts with an understanding of the theory of evolution.

A recent issue of the National Geographic magazine asked the question, "Was Darwin Wrong?" Inside it gave the answer: "No."

The evidence is in and it is overwhelming that life evolved out of the ooze and continues to evolve.



If you click on the pigeon image above and scroll down the National Geographic page that appears, you'll see a list of links to sites that explain the theory of evolution.
