There is no " what do I understand by the term evolution. " Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms. This is a observed and observable fact.
It is no longer Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection, but has had over 150 years of modification and improvement to become the modern synthesis.
A short definition of natural selection.
" The non-random survival of randomly replicating organisms. "
It is not a matter of agreement, it is a matter of accepting the overwhelming evidences in support of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
The last step in the evolution of life is reaching a state of equilibrium where organisms are well-adapted to their environment and exhibit high levels of complexity and diversity. This stage involves ongoing interactions between organisms and their environment to maintain balance and stability in ecosystems.
The Steady State theory is now an obsolete theory. It was an interesting alternative to the normal Big Bang theory, but it doesn't agree with observations.The Steady State theory is now an obsolete theory.

There is The Bible telling of the creation, and then there is The Big Bang Theory, where it kind of just exploded and there it was. Those are the two major ones. There is also the theory of evolution created by Darwin, and then there is the inflationary theory.
Through evolution. There are two main kinds of evolution which are gradualism and punctuated equilibrium. In gradualism, natural selection slowly removes unfavorable traits for the environment that the species is living in. After many years the different habitats will result in two species. This same theory is true for punctuated equilibrium except that in p.e. there is a sudden burst of change followed by a dormant state of evolution for the species.

French biologist Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believed in the equilibrium of nature. His theory of evolution suggests that traits acquired by organism during its lifetime will be passed on to the offspring.
Theory of Evolution. ----------------------------- One should be careful with calling this a theory for the beginning of life; the theory of evolution does not state how life began, only how it evolved. How actually life started is still a mystery, although process is being made.

Tennessee passed the Butler Act in 1925, which prohibited the teaching of any theory that denied the biblical account of creation, including evolution. This led to the famous Scopes Monkey Trial, where a high school teacher was prosecuted for teaching evolution.
State evolution refers to the process by which a system's state changes over time in response to internal dynamics or external influences. It is often used in the context of systems theory and can involve the transition from one stable state to another or the gradual development of a system's properties. Understanding state evolution is important for predicting future system behavior and making informed decisions.

It is not a matter of agreement, it is a matter of accepting the overwhelming evidences in support of the theory of evolution by natural selection.
