Of course not. Evolution is not a lie but a well supported theory. Some people believe it's a lie because it conflicts with their religious beliefs. However, being unable to provide any valid alternatives or evidence their arguments are not compelling. Two points I'd like to make. Most religious people who try to disprove this widely accepted theory, which forms the basis of Biology, don't understand it. Evolution simply states that species can change over time. We have examples of evolution within our own recorded history. Different breeds of dogs, medicinal and edible plants are all examples of evolution. Evolution is a change in genome frequencies over time. Another example: Consider a population of moths, some are black and most are white because they have different genetic material. During the industrial revolution the trees the moths live on were partially covered with soot. Therefore the black ones avoided predation as they were camouflaged when they sat on the trees whereas white ones where clearly visible therefore were eaten more often by birds. Black moths had a high fitness (reproductions over a life time) in this environment and therefore more black moths were able to transfer the black alleles. The next population is going to be mostly black due to the increase in black genes transferred. This is an example of evolution as black allele frequencies increase and white allele frequencies decrease. This has all been observed and recorded. Ultimately it was noted that the predominantly black moth population now in this new environment and with different environmental pressures developed into a population that couldn't breed with their old half white half black ancestors. This constitutes a species; a population that cannot interbreed. This is a witnessed and recorded example. It is a fact. You can also look to the many different colored goldfish you buy. Some of these diverged from the same goldfish ancestor. Therefore evolution is not a lie those that do not accept it do not understand it because they consider that it suggests that God did not create organisms which on the contrary, it does not oppose.
As for the genetic drift argument below, a gene typically contains a thousand base pairs. Frequently these will be missing or reversed--EVERY single individual contains such mutations. These errors usually have no effect--they are benign. Sometimes they are beneficial, although usually they are detrimental. When they cause harm, the individual with those defective genes tend to be less capable of breeding, and passing on the harmful mutation. Sometimes, however, even a defective gene may spread through a population. One excellent example is the gene responsible for producing the protein that synthesizes ascorbic acid (vitamin C). This gene broke in early old world (African) primates. New world (South American) primates, which diverged before the gene broke, have a functioning copy. Our gene, inherited from the old world monkeys, is broken in the same manner. Creationists might want to ask themselves why God would break a gene in humans the same way it was broken in monkeys, if not to serve as evidence for common ancestry. No other mammal (except a species of fruit bat and hamsters) have a broken GULO gene. And in fruit bats and hamsters the gene is not broken the way it is in old world primates (apes and humans).
"Man to dung beetle" is typical of creationist misunderstanding of evolution. This needs no further elaboration.
The creationist then resorts to mathematical chicanery to illustrate a point about DNA replication, suggesting it takes a second for each link in a strand to form. The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) lays this idea to rest. Although it takes 20 minutes to amplify any DNA primer or set of primers, the power of exponential growth results in millions and billions of copies over a period of a single day. The drawback is that all of these are subject to random mutation. The advantage is that environmental selection is minimized, so the copies are static. An altered environment is the engine that propels evolutionary change.
You can use the same creationist DNA argument on a rock. A rock contains billions of atoms, each of which occupies a particular location. The odds against any specific rock are infinestismal, yet rocks are commonplace. Granted, "non living" arragements are more common that arrangements of atoms capable of self reproduction. Still, every bacterium is unique, and there are uncountable numbers of those. The biosphere is rife with various arrangements of successful replicators. Randomness factors in to EACH replication, as any given chromosome in an organism is likely to contain at least one errant base pair. Gene duplications, insertions, and deletions introduce thousands of base pair changes all at once, whereas polyploidy introduces millions of them.
Absolutely evolution IS a lie. Evolutionists cloak their lies by discussing natural selection and mutation and passing them off as evolution. Natural selection and mutation happen every day-no one would deny that. However, true Darwinian evolution has NEVER happened and will NEVER happen. I challenge any and all evolutionists to show real scientific evidence of even one animal EVOLVING into another animal (cat to dog, lizard to bird, ape to man, man to dung beetle....you get the idea). C'mon....all I need is just one. Good luck. Additions to answer two: Here are some stats (ie real data) you should look into in order to make an informed decision: There are approximately 50,000 genes in the human body. A single gene is made up of hundreds of thousands of chemical bases arranged in a very specific order. If even one of these chemical bases was missing or was placed in a different spot in the order, humans would be anything from a puddle of goo to who knows what. Knowing this, consider the statistical probability of getting these chemical bases of these genes in exactly the order that they need to be to create us. Consider the following exercise: 1. Take 3 numbered blocks, put them in a box and shake them up. There are six possible combinations of these three numbers. The probability of pulling the blocks out in order is 1 chance in 6. 2. Next add two more numbered blocks to make a total of 5. Now there are 120 possible combinations. The probability of pulling the blocks in orderhas increased to 1 in 120. 3. Next we'll add 4 more numbered blocks to make 10 total. Now the probability has increased to 1 in 3.5 million. If someone were to pull one block every 15 seconds, the probability of pulling the blocks in order would happen once every 18 months. 4. Next lets double the quantity of numbered blocks to a total of 20. If you could pull all 20 blocks out in just one second and repeat this every second, the probability of pulling the blocks out in order would occur once every 77 billion years (keep in mind that evolutionists maintain that the age of the universe is only about 10 billion years). This little numbers game is nothing compared to the complexity of even the simplest bits of matter. For example, the chance of forming a two-thousand atom protein molecule as something like one in 10 to the three hundred and twenty-first power (that's 10 followed by 320 zeros). Again, just as a reminder, there are 50,000 genes in the human body made up of hundreds of thousands of chemical bases each that must be arranged exactly the way that they are to make you. In the grand perspective of things, if you consider all plant and animal life on the planet and the specific order required to make all of them, there is no possibility of random chance evolution. Thank God for statistics.
Contingent evolution is one of the forces of Darwin's theory of evolution. It is based on the concept of how power of accidents and happenstance shape the course of evolution.

Did you mean "Evolution"? No, it was the explanation of the species problem at the time and has been refined and strengthened in the last 157 years so well that it has met all challenges head on and surmounted them with flying colors.

[The answer I have given is rather long. The first part deals with whether 'lie' is applicable to such attempts at truth-telling as scientific theories or myths. The next bit deals with what the asker probably wants to know. The question seems to come from a desire to see whether the Theory of Evolution by Means of Natural Selection is true or not, or whether or not it is true what some anti-evolution objectors have to say when they say 'Evolution is a lie'.]The word 'lie' implies a deliberate attempt to mislead or present an untruth as a truth. Evolution just is. In the world of scientific theories (or infant ideas in the forms of hypotheses) you don't have a 'lie'. Theories can be wrong of course, and are occasionally proven wrong. It was wrong to suppose that the Earth was the centre of the Solar System, but that doesn't mean geocentrism was a 'lie'; it simply means it was wrong. On a smaller scale, it is not a 'lie' that Komodo dragons have bacteria-made poisons in their saliva but instead have their own true venom. The saliva-bacteria theory may just be wrong. That's all - wrong.In the case of the Theory of Evolution (hereafter shortened to 'Evolution'), Evolution is not wrong. It is not a 'lie' either. The Theory of Evolution has masses of evidence, from comparative anatomy to comparative genomics. The similarity of the gene sequences between species show their relationships. Evolution explains the biogeography of species brilliantly. "Why are lemurs found only on Madagascar and lorises in India?" is explained perfectly, as is "Why are marsupials found only in Australia and South America?". Evolution explains human behaviour too such as how and why we think in a world dominated by society - humans are a social species after all. Evolution explains adaptation, why organisms are shaped as they are and why they physiologically function as they do. Evolution explains the matching of organisms with their environments, such as why desert animals have longer kidney tubes (called Loops of Henle) to those that live in moister regions - as a result they reabsorb more water as it is filtered through the kidneys. Another example is why sea-birds have pointy ended eggs and another is why antelope have eyes on the sides of their faces. In the case of the sea-birds, they breed on cliffs. Round eggs would roll off cliffs and so Natural Selection selects those birds born from pointy eggs (which can't roll off cliffs) which are genetically capable of laying pointy eggs themselves and survive the dangers of rolling off a cliff still inside an egg because they can't roll off a cliff still inside their egg. Antelope see a greater scope of surrounding grassland if they have eyes on the sides of their heads. Thus those with these side eyes as opposed to eyes facing forwards are more likely to spot predators and so more likely to flee in time and so more likely to survive to breed. The offspring of the side-eyed antelope will be selected to the point that the population is no longer cabable of producing forward-eyed offspring as the genetic codes coding for forward eyes are now too rare or extinct. The whole sequence of Evolution is demonstrated by fossils and the range of body forms (some simple, some more complex) that have survived to the present. There is a sequence of form from gametophyte-dominant, spore-producing, stemless, leafless mosses to sporophyte-dominant, seed-bearing, stemmed, leafy spermatophytes (angiosperms and gymnosperms), and that sequence is seen in fossils to be the order in which these organismal forms evolved. There is a sequence of form from the two-layered animals (diploblastic) to the three-layered (triploblastic). There is a sequence of form from the sarcopterygian fin to the amphibian leg and a sequence of form from the reptile scale to the avian feather. And there is a sequence of form from the egg-laying monotreme (i.e. echidnas and platypuses) to the viviparous therian (i.e. marsupials and placental mammals). These 'sequences' are confirmed by the fossil record and confirmed by the sequencing of nucleic acids. The sequencing of DNA for example confirms our hypothesis from morphological data, that chimpanzees and gorillas are closer related to humans than orangutans and that humans are indeed mammals, related to apes and monkeys and less closely related to elephants and manatees, tigers, bats, whales and wildebeest. As pointed out by David Attenborough in 'Charles Darwin and the Tree of Life', courts allow the confirmation of fatherhood of a father to a child via genetic evidence. Thus, what should be clear is that nucleic acid sequencing should be able to give us an accurate picture of the relatedness of all life on Earth.There have always been objectors to the Theory of Evolution. To the religious, the theory violates religious adherence to the idea of how 'special' humans are, that species are not separate from one another but may arise from one another. Creationists have tried to discredit Evolution by positing arguments against it, such as 'Evolution violates the Second Law of Thermodynamics' and 'No-one ever saw Evolution taking place'. All Creationist claims against Evolution are incorrect. Evolution does not violate the Second Law. And it should be obvious how useless the second example is, since no human can do time-travelling to visit a live Archaeopteryx (or whatever) to see if it really did arise from coelurosaurs and give rise to birds and thus humans need to find other evidence (eg. fossils, morphology and DNA) to infer such things.Sometimes I am sure the claim 'Evolution is a lie' does come up in the circles of creationists who are offended by religion or too brought up in religion to be capable of thinking in any way other than creationistically. This itself is most certainly untrue. Evolution is not a lie. Evolution can't be a lie within the context of what I wrote about 'lie' in the first paragraphs. Evolution is a theory and a hugely good one, given the evidence for it and the magnitude of the things it can explain. What motivates creationists to make this claim?Creationism has disguised itself as 'Creation science' and 'Intelligent Design' to try and get itself taught in classrooms. The claim 'Evolution is a lie' may be used to try and encourage people to think negatively about Evolution (the word 'lie' has negative connotations) and welcome the creationists' ideas of teaching Creationism or Intelligent Design as sciences. The whole phenomenon may stem from offence taken at the idea that Evolution may give that species arise from one another and therefore there seems no need for a Creator to create organisms and thus no need for a Creator to create humans and thus, perhaps, no need for a Creator to exist. It may be that the claim 'Evolution is a 'lie' is a dishonest 'lie' itself, given by someone who prefers a creationistic outlook or someone who wishes to sway people to accept creationistic movements like Intelligent Design. The whole Evolution-Intelligent Design 'controversy' (it is not a controversy among highly educated, scientific circles as Evolution is a good theory and Intelligent Design is factless, politically-involved 'creationism in disguise') has been raging so long that some, religious or not, may think it genuine that 'Evolution is a lie', in which case they have been subject to great quantities of misinformation and have been unable to disinter the facts from the nonsense.In short, Evolution is not a lie. Evolution is a theory, which has great evidence to support it. Evolution is the baseline of all biological study. In science, a theory cannot survive if it is wrong due to peer-review. In a sense, science has a form of 'Natural' Selection going for it to weed out incorrect theories and, if there be any, 'lies'. Evolution would not have survived if it were incorrect or a 'lie'.Answer: To some, based on conclusions they've found and gathered which counters sciences' "theory" and "evidence", yes, it is blatant and obvious lie.
The greatest lie I have ever heard is that we are here on earth by some humanly-concocted process referred to as 'biological evolution of the species', and that man does not need God.

Micro-evolution is not only a part of macro-evolution, it is the same mechanism as macro-evolution. Macro-evolution includes speciation, as a result of continuing micro-evolution.
