Nowadays this word can apply to other religions. About the Darwin’s evolution • Darwin's Theory of Evolution is the widely held notion that all life is related and has descended from a common ancestor: the birds and the bananas, the fishes and the flowers -- all related. Darwin's general theory presumes the development of life from nonlife and stresses a purely naturalistic . That is, complex creatures evolve from more simplistic ancestors naturally over time. The beneficial mutations are preserved because they aid survival -- a process known as "natural selection." These beneficial mutations are passed on to the next generation. • Since the publication of Darwin’s On the Origins of Species in 1859, the attitude of the Catholic Church on the theory of evolution has slowly been refined. For about 100 years, there was no authoritative pronouncement on the subject. Catholic concern about evolution has always been very largely concerned with the implications of evolutionary theory for the origin of the human species; there was debate being over whether God created the world in six days or it original from simple species.
