From LoveToKnow 1911
EVOLUTION. The modern doctrine of evolution or " evolving," as opposed to that of simple creation, has been defined by Prof. James Sully in the 9th edition of this encyclopaedia as a " natural history of the cosmos including organic beings, expressed in physical terms as a mechanical process." The following exposition of the historical development of the doctrine is taken from Sully's article, and for the most part is in his own words.
In the modern doctrine of evolution the cosmic system appears as a natural product of elementary matter and its laws. The various grades of life on our planet are the natural consequences of certain physical processes involved in the gradual transformations of the earth. Conscious life is viewed as conditioned by physical (organic and more especially nervous) processes, and as evolving itself in close correlation with organic evolution. Finally, human development, as exhibited in historical and prehistorical records, is regarded as the highest and most complex result of organic and physical evolution.
This modern doctrine of evolution is but an expansion and completion of those physical theories (see below) which opened the history of speculation . It differs from them in being grounded on exact and verified research. As such, moreover, it is a much more limited theory of evolution than the ancient. It does not necessarily concern itself about the question of the infinitude of worlds in space and in time. It is content to explain the origin and course of development of the world, the solar or, at most, the sidereal system which falls under our own observation. It would be difficult to say what branches of science had done most towards the establishment of this doctrine.

Mitochondrial DNA Clarifies Human Evolution

article highlights Recent DNA studies of several populations suggest that modern humans: May 2001 Homo habilis is a species of the genus Homo, that lived from about 2.5 million to 1.6 million years ago. Source: Wikimedia Commons. Mutations in human DNA are used to show relationships and evolutionary history. For the last 15 years or so, molecular anthropologists have been comparing the DNA of living humans of diverse origins to build evolutionary trees. Mutations occur in our DNA at a regular rate and will often be passed along to our children. It is these differences (polymorphisms) that, on a genotypic level, make us all unique and analysis of these differences will show how closely we are related. However, different approaches used by molecular and physical anthropologists have led to opposing views on how modern humans evolved from our archaic ancestors.

Darwin's Work to Be Highlighted in 2010 and Beyond
The ideas of Charles Darwin and the concept of evolution by natural selection had a profound influence on modern biology – they have permeated into almost every other area of scientific exploration. Last year we celebrated the 'Year of Science' and the 150th anniversary of the publication of Darwin's On the Origin of Species . Information about some of the events we hosted as part of this celebration can be accessed through our event archive
Opportunities to learn about science and evolution will continue in 2010. The largest opportunity will be the , to take place October 10 through 24 with an Expo on the National Mall in Washington, DC on October 23 and 24. The Academies are a partner organizer of the festival, which will feature over 500 exhibits with interactive displays along with hands-on science experiments. Exhibits that have been announced include "Evolution is US"; "Biodiversity Conservation"; "Dinosaurs: Ancient Fossils, New Discoveries, Moveable Museum"; "Evolution Here and Now"; and "Biology – The Science of Life." We look forward to seeing you at the festival. We will be updating this Web site with new events and resources throughout 2010, please come again.

http://www.evolutionashram.org/
Evolution, The Final Belief System
People are, on average, becoming progressively more educated. As evolution is founded on logic and scientific evidence, in time, despite some current religious revival, evolution will eventually replace all other belief systems. The myths and dogmas that underlie the current religions will be rejected. This may take hundreds or even thousands of years, but this time is short in regard to the remaining life span of the Earth. People will look to evolution to explain how we came into existence, how our minds function, and what happens to us after death. The Evolution Ashram will be built over the next few years at Kookaburra Eco-village in Queensland, Australia, where like-minded people can gather to discuss and examine the evolutionary process.

49. The Life Of Birds | Evolution
Birds arrived comparatively late on Planet Earth. First came insects, in the unimaginably distant past. For over 100 million years or more they ruled the skies.

by Gareth Huw Davies Birds arrived comparatively late
on Planet Earth. First came insects, in the unimaginably distant past. For over 100 million years or more they ruled the skies. But these were mere pioneers of the air. Think of them, in aviation terms, as the flimsy open-cockpit planes of the early 20th Century. Then, several hundred million years ago, huge and often terrifying new life forms, Pterosaurs, or flying dinosaurs, took the ascendancy. These massive creatures had wings of skin, stretched between one enormously elongated finger and their flanks. Around 150 million years ago they were joined by - or, as many scientists say, they began to turn into - a much more aerodynamic, feathered creature. The bird was born. And so the flimsy biplane ceded aerial mastery to nature's many equivalents of the Boeing 767, Concorde, the B52 bomber, the stealth fighter. A huge variety of ancient bird types have come and gone and evolved to give us the 9000 different species we know today. Many scientists are convinced that birds evolved from the dinosaurs. Numerous finds in recent years have seemed to support the hypothesis that birds descended from two-legged, running dinosaurs called theropods.

Origins - Theistic Evolution
There's a lot of people out there want you to think you have to believe that the world was made in six days or you're not a proper "Bible-believing Christian" - whatever that means. This is a load of codswallop, you can live in the 20th century and be a Christian. Why This Page? I'd originally not intended to put any material of my own on this site; I'm just some farty whose ideas have no more validity than anyone else's. Frighteningly, however, the Christian side of the Web seems to be dominated by folk of Creationist beliefs, as any search on any search engine using 'theistic evolution' or 'creationism' will show you. Why this should be I don't know. Most of the major denominations accept Theistic Evolution (The Roman Catholics, for starters!). Perhaps it's because it's only an issue to the Creationists, so only they bother to address it. And for me, it's not inherently an issue. I don't give a flying one whether you take Genesis literally or not. But I do get wound up by three things:

    55. The History Of Evolution
    Not just the historical aspects of evolution, but also the evolution of all species.
    http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/HISTEVOL.html
    The History of Evolution
    The basic idea underlying the Principia Cybernetica Project is that evolution leads to the spontaneous emergence of systems of higher and higher complexity or "intelligence": from elementary particles, via atoms, molecules, living cells, multicellular organism s, plants, and animals to human beings, culture and society. This gives us a view of the history of evolution as a kind of progression towards higher complexity (albeit essentially unpredictable, with many side-tracks and dead-ends). Such an encompassing view may allow us to answer the basic questions : "Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going to?" (The last question requires an extrapolation of this development towards the future Although the growth of complexity during evolution is not universal (many systems evolve towards higher simplicity), it appears as the most striking factor from a long-term perspective. Most of the time this complexity increase, and evolution in general, occurs rather slowly or continuously, but during certain periods evolution accelerates spectacularly. This results in changes which from a long term perspective may be viewed as momentous events, separating discrete types of organization. Each time a higher level of control or organization has developed we say that a Metasystem Transition (MST) has taken place.

    59. Dinobuzz: Dinosaur-Bird Relationships
    Article examining the evolution of birds.
    http://www.ucmp.berkeley.edu/diapsids/avians.html
    Are Birds Really Dinosaurs?
    Ask your average paleontologist who is familiar with the phylogeny of vertebrates and they will probably tell you that yes, birds (avians) are dinosaurs . Using proper terminology, birds are avian dinosaurs; other dinosaurs are non-avian dinosaurs, and (strange as it may sound) birds are technically considered reptiles . Overly technical? Just semantics? Perhaps, but still good science. In fact, the evidence is overwhelmingly in favor of birds being the descendants of a maniraptoran dinosaur , probably something similar (but not identical) to a small dromaeosaur . What is this evidence?
    Emu We'll spare you the exhaustive amount of available cladistic studies; those alone would make a large book if compiled. Dr. Jacques Gauthier, during his time as a graduate student of Professor Kevin Padian here at Berkeley, did his dissertation research on this subject, creating the first well accepted, detailed phylogeny of the diapsids . His work provided strong, compelling support for the theory that birds are theropod dinosaurs If we look back into the history of the issue, it is apparent that many comparative anatomists during the 16th through 19th centuries noticed that birds were very similar to traditional reptiles. In 1860, shortly after the publication of
