Bare rolig , det gr det ogs . Det gr bare ikke s godt i spnd med nogles host evige lyst til at spille offeret . <| sep |> Do you get off on arguing semantics on the internet ? <| sep |> Evolution , to put it simply , is genetic differences over a long , long period of time . You aren ' t an exact clone of your parents , you are a combination of your parents , and in the process of making you , a genetic mutation may have appeared . This mutation could be beneficial , detrimental , or it could not affect you in the slightest . Now imagine a group of predators living in the wild . They live and reproduce normally , and only the strongest can survive leaving the weak ones to die out . An offspring of that species is born with a mutation that makes it a liiiiittle bit faster than the rest . Guess what ? That advantage makes it healthier and stronger than the rest . It succeeds in life because of this mutation and goes on to reproduce , passing this mutation on to it ' s offspring . Some of these offspring got a better version of this gene making them even faster than their parent . Of course , this means they now have an advantage and will go on to make more , even faster offspring . Eventually , this gene becomes the key factor in the species ' survival , meaning only the members of the species with that gene will survive , thus making this gene a prominent part of the species . Now imagine this happening for millions of years with many different genetic mutations mutations which affect eyesight , smell , strength , etc . Eventually , the species will be completely different from their slow , pooreyed , weak ancestors . Did that help you understand at all ? I ' m sure your teachers will be able to explain more indepth once you start learning about evolution in school . If you go to a Christian school like I did I would really suggest studying up on evolution so that you can dispute claims with solid evidence should anyone challenge your beliefs . You should also keep in mind that evolution and Christianity aren ' t mutually exclusive . You can believe in God and recognize that evolution is a legitimate theory on how modern life was formed . It ' s possible that God simply lead life up to the point where people became selfaware and were able to communicate with and understand Him .
