These are the core concepts of Evolution theory, nothing about the dinosaurs, the extinct animals and plants, nor the growth of humanity.

1.) Life will adapt to survive.
2.) Mutations occur in all living things, some bad, some good, some impossible to see.
3.) Under the filter of life and death that all creatures on this planet go through, the fittest for their environment will flourish, (those who's mutations and adaptions work) and the weak shall die out.


That is the core postulations of Evolutuion. Nothing more, anything else you hear is a theory attached to it, not the theory itself.

Beyond that a few myths to solve.
1.) Just because a species evolved into something new does not mean the original no longer exist.

2.) Humans did not evolve from "monkies", even if science claimed they did and was wrong, that does not disprove evolution, that disproves a theory that is a branch off of Evolution. Our genetic attachment seems close to Apes, however we do not descend from them, we simply share a similar tree, as in both came from a species that grew a few different ways. If you deny that makes sense, note how many species of...spider there are. Most of them originated from a single branch and then through their environments diversified. Evolution claims eventually many of these species might refine into something different. But that does not mean all or any of them will.

3.) Yes it does in many ways disagree with Christians ideals on life. Understand in Christian legend dinosaurs never existed, most of the extinct species of the world that died out in the BCE range Christianities book claims never existed, claiming that what we have now was spontaneously created. Alongside humanity, and alongside the created earth. Beyond that they believed life was STILL being spontaneously created well after Atom and Eve left that garden. Sorry. Pick and choose your following all you want, but in the beginnings of the religion that's how it went. Can't really change origins of life on pure faith. Gotta stick to something.

4.) Yes this does mean different skin colors could signify different species of human. However the genetic variation between skin colors is too small to really be defined as such. So there is really only one species of human. Unless someone willing to isolate about 10000 or so people from the rest of humanity for about 10,000 years. Or specially breed humans into specific things. Which will still take a long time, just not as long.

5.) No I am not a spawn from hell come to corrupt the youth.
