Evolution: //Latin; Noun;// change in the gene pool of a population from generation to generation by such processes as mutation, natural selection, and genetic drift.

Evidence of evolution can be found in the morphology, geographic distribution, and molecular structure of all living things today. Each of the above terms has a significant amount of physical and factual evidence to stand behind it.

Morphological: Morphology is the physical structure of different types of animals. Despite differences in outward appearances, all species have a relatively similar morpholoy. They all have a muscular and skelatal structure, intertwined, they all have neural tissue to coordinate movement and most, if not all, animals use sexual reproduction. These similarities are not any coincidence.

Biogeographical: It is known to us that, thanks to adaptation, all living beings change to meet their needs in a certain enviroment. If so, then it makes sense that different animals in the same or similar regions would look and act the same. However, animals under different circumstances could look or actually be the same species, such as the finches on the islands. while they are all technically the same species, they have changed over time, effectively becoming different subspecies of finches.

Molecular: The base component of all life is DNA, and all DNA is made up of the same four nucleic acids. If so, then all life comes from the same four substances: much too big of a factor to not be considered.

From this evidence, and more, it can therefore be concluded that evolution is how all species arose from nothing. More information below:
