You seem to not understand most of what you speak of.

Yes, the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection is a theory of the origin of species, as in how all the varying species arose, and are arising, from those before them. How all the various life forms came from those that existed before them.

Perhaps you just don't have a complete understanding of the English language.

Your entire point seems hung up on the word "Evolution". Which in turn seems based on your erroneous definition of that word.

What you describe as "interrelation" is what the scientific and, indeed, the rest of the world defines as evolution. Where you got this term 'interrelation' is beyond me and, apparently, most everyone else.

Webster's defines "interrelation" as:
Sort of exactly what it would appear to mean. Please note it does not mention nor even imply anything about change. It does not mention nor even imply anything about origin.

So, perhaps you don't understand English. Like I said, you seem to have some irrational hang up about the term 'evolution'.

Think about it for a second, which is more likely, that the entirety of science, literally millions of people who study, teach and practice science plus the millions more who use science in their daily lives either as a part of their work or simply as an interest, are correct about their definition of the term 'evolution'

OR

you, one person in the middle of asia, most likely not native speaker of the language, is correct in your definition of the term 'evolution'.

It may come as a surprise to you, but language is something for which the argument from popularity is valid. If the overwhelming portion of the population have consensus on the definition of a term, that's its definition. And if you want to communicate, you had best accept that definition. Of course, if you don't care if you communicate, well, then, do your thing. But don't be too surprised if the rest of us ignore you, as I am going to do.

Off to never-never land with you.

Indeed ... it appears that samurai's understanding of the Theory of Evolution consists, almost exclusively, of Creationist "buzzwords" and, "My Pa ain't no dirty, stinking ol' monkey" thinking.

At what point would you say that a person understands English?

How can proponents of the theory of Evolution not understand their own theory? They're the ones who came up with the thing, after all. :huh:

When Darwin said, "the origin of species," he meant the cause (i.e., origin) of speciation. He was talking about the origins for the diversity of life, not of life itself.

You're the one who just doesn't get it, Sam.

You have to be American and attend the right church.

Why would I admit something that isn't true?

THE THEORY OF EVOLUTION IS NOT A THEORY OF THE ORIGIN OF LIFE ON EARTH.

Any more than general relativity explains where mass comes from.

Didn't you read the OP? They're all deceivers!
