Hi Stefanie 

You appear to be writing from the University of Alabama at Birmingham,
given your email address.

Maybe you should talk to one of the academic staff members of the UAB
Department of Biology, part of the School of Natural Sciences and
Mathematics. Their web site is:

http://www.uab.edu/uabbio/

I'm sure that one of them might be able to explain the current position
as regards the status of evolution in understanding the biological
world. Perhaps Professor Angus, whose webpage is:

http://www.uab.edu/uabbio/angus.htm

And whose CV is at:

http://www.uab.edu/uabbio/angus_cv.htm

would be able to assist you with any questions.

There is also the Alabama Museum of Natural History at UA Tuscaloosa:

http://amnh.ua.edu/

I'm not sure how far it is from Birmingham to Tuscaloosa, but a visit
down there to see the collections, and talk to the staff, might be
instructive.

I hope this helps,

Michael
