ZOMG CONTROVERSIAL TOPIC
Well, not really. I honestly don't see why evolution has any controversy whatsoever about it. Well, I can see why but it shouldn't. This is the information age, we should've all outgrown this.
Now, I'm not a biologist. I don't understand the details behind evolution, but quite frankly, I don't see why I'd need to be. Honestly, it seems like common sense to me. But before I get into all of that, I'm going to try cover a few common misconceptions, but first, since, for some insane reason, religion is brought into these debates, I'm going to cover my own religious beliefs very quickly.
I consider myself a Christian. It's how I was raised, and quite frankly, Jesus seemed like a pretty clever guy and following his teachings seems like a good idea. The whole "do unto others as you would have them do to you" is a pretty good philosophy to live by.
With that said, I consider myself a scientist (And I have a degree to prove it!). I put a lot of faith into basic logic and reasoning and when logic and reasoning dictates that the measurable universe is 14 billion years old (Seriously, young earth Creationists, you're all idiots), and that humankind came from evolution, that's what I believe.
But anyway! Misconceptions!
