So in an evolutionary worldview the effect is that evolution and universal common ancestry cannot be seperated. The above quote shows this. The first half shows what evolution is and the second half shows the purpose for studying evolution.
Pardon me if I am mistaken, but isn't the title of this thread "Why creationist definitions of evolution are wrong, terribly wrong."
I am puzzled as to why you insist upon a definition no one here who supports evolution agrees with.
Now you wouldn't be trying to "palm the pea" as jar would say now would you?

The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas - uncertainty, progress, change - into crimes.

This rudderless world is not shaped by vague metaphysical forces. It is not God who kills the children. Not fate that butchers them or destiny that feeds them to the dogs. It’s us. Only us. - the character Rorschach in Watchmen
