An ancient and dynamically
changing Earth and universe is supported by overwhelming
evidence from geology, physics, astronomy, and
cosmology.
The common descent of all
living things is well-supported by diverse lines of evidence
in geology, paleontology, biology, and genetics.
Biological evolution has
great explanatory power and has proven effective in
generating new and testable hypotheses in a wide range of scientific
disciplines including historical geology, paleontology, ecology,
biogeography, developmental biology, biochemistry, and
genetics.
New discoveries and new
models are progressively closing many previous gaps in our
knowledge and understanding of evolutionary history and
mechanismsÉ
