The term 'modern theory of evolution' most likely refers to the 'modern synthesis', which combines Darwin's classical model with modern genetics.


What should you do on a project about evolution?

Evolution is a broad subject. You should probably start by narrowing down the topic a bit. On one hand, there's the history of science, which is a fascinating topic in and of itself. On the other, there's the practical applications of evolutionary biology in modern medicine and agriculture. And then there's the mechanisms of evolution, which can be demonstrated in simple experiments, or captured in a few simple diagrams. And of course there's the evolutionary history of modern forms, as best as can be established through palaeontology and comparative genomics - which includes fascinating critters such as trilobites, pterosaurs, the evolution of birds from dinosaurs, the evolution of the horse, the whale, early primates to modern humans, and so forth. More than enough to choose from, in other words.


How is the idea of evolution a threat to scientific progress?

The idea of evolution is that evolution is a fact and the theory of evolution by natural selection explains much about the fact of evolution. Your question is ill posed. A more modern phrase would say your question is malformed. How could the fact of evolution be a threat to anything? How could the theory that is the backbone of biology not be one of the greatest progressions in science? Much confusion between fact and theory. Theory explains fact and encompasses fact and is a higher scientific concept than fact.

How does Darwin's theory go against the teaching of the fandementalists?

It doesn't. The teaching of the fundamentalists goes against modern science and the theory of evolution by natural selection is just the most prominent theory these people attack. As biblical literalist they can not accept the age of the earth, the formation of the universe and, evolutionarily, that man is the ancestor of what they would consider " lower organisms. "
