Variation generated by mutations: FACTEvolution isn't science.
It is a faith-based philosophy of endless genealogies that Solomon calls an "invention," and Paul calls a "philosophy" and "endless genealogies" and "fables."
Variation leads to a statistical variation in success in reproduction: FACT
Over longer periods and larger numbers the more successful variety will increase it's proportion in the population: FACT (This one is even in the Bible)
If a population gets split into two populations different traits can become common: FACT
Two sub populations can become so different that reproduction becomes difficult or impossible: FACT
Those are all you need for evolution to occur.
Evidence of these phenomena occurring over a very long time scale with very marked changes have been found.
These time scales and environmental changes are consistent with other fields of study: mainly physics, geology and astronomy.
From all this evolution from a common ancestor isn't supposition or a just so story, it's a reasonable conclusion from evidence... or "connect the dots", if you are particularly silly.
