Re: No scientific controversy exists.
You're certainly right that evolution is an established part of biology. However, its definition of evolution is merely that the frequency of alleles changes from generation to generation.

It is entirely possible to believe the above without accepting the Modern Evolutionary Synthesis, which is an attempt to reconcile Mendelian genetics with Darwinism. One states that variations in an organism never go past a certain limit whereas the other one states that they do.
