Is evolution as crooked as Hillary?

As I said, the aim of sciences is to describe and understand the world around us. As such, the sciences never rest - they are always pushing into new frontiers to further our understanding. Describing and classifying biological organisms was an early endeavor of biological sciences. As we started making these observations, more questions arose. Why does this organism have features similar to this other organism? How are these organisms related to each other? How did these organisms come to be? Biological evolution is a scientific theory that helps answer these types of questions. It's part of studying the plants and animals as much as studying anatomy, physiology, taxonomy, metabolism, genetics, etc. Any good undergraduate program in biological sciences requires students to study biological evolution for this reason. It is a central theory to the discipline.
You say that. It seems like more grammer and language than medicine. They still blast the cancer with radiation and hope the patient doesn't die?

If you can read this, you are as lucky as I am.
Did you ever get a flu shot? Why?
Why do you have to get another one each year? Another monstrous lie?
Please try to learn something?

I don't click links, could get a computer virus. But Cancer therapy an improved approach. Why try to fit that word in there "evolved"?
Umm..because it uses the insights and predictions of the theory of evolution to develop more effective therapy..which would be clear if you click links.
One of many many ways evolutionary insights prove vital in the science of medicine.
Type "Cancer therapy: an evolved approach" in your google search and click the link to the Nature article yourself.
Why don't you sum it up, you haven't peaked my interest to read the article. Natural cures are what the ancient world used, so it would be a devolved approach? I have no problem believing many cures can be found in nature. Google Oregano oil, many people swear it's the most powerful medicine ever. Can't patent it though so big pharma needs to come up with something else.

While I am anti-big pharma but for other reasons I feel this needs to be said.
Life expectancy and medicine were dreadful in the days of old. Modern medicine is better now than it has ever been in the history of human kind. The "all natural remedy" movement is mostly based on false information. Most doctors prescribe cheaper treatments if they can. If no doctors prescribe it then there is a high likelyhood that it doesn't work.
But yeah big pharma is wrong for a lot of reasons. Number one is the pricing of their goods. Second is the development of so called "new" drugs which are often re-hashed drugs with changed non-active ingredents so they can put a new commercial out there. Also the FDA in America is absolute crap. The time it takes to get effective medicines into the market is far to slow and the acceptance of **** medicines far too high. They are not above lobbying. Also big pharma has lobbied congrses to pass mulitple laws that do everything from making it illegal to haggle prices to making it legal to buy doctors to prescribe their medication.
Ignorant, science-averse denizens of the Basket of Deplorables. It's but one of many things that distinguished Evolution from so-called Intelligent Design.

And what was their life expectancy?
Here in the States, historians tell us that the average life expectancy was around 35 years of age at the time of the Revolutionary War. Modern medicine, which has relied heavily on what the ToE informs us, now has us at roughly double that age.
I'd credit the tractor, people live a life of ease and plenty, relatively.

Tractors don't cure disease.

Nope, as in many cases the historians could tell what in general what likely killed them, and infant mortality is very high on the list.
The reality is that the basic ToE has been well established and is used extensively in the biological sciences and other related fields. One does not "believe" in the ToE, as they either accept the overwhelming scientific evidence or they don't.
And why would infants be dying? No tractors, hard times. Not enough cotton, no blankets, means a cold baby catching pneumonia.
Darwin is the Creator? Should we kneel and bow now or dig him up first?
Well, we do not usuall kneel and bow to anybody. This is what you guys like to do. Or feel compelled to do. For some inscrutable reason.
But since Darwin is himself the product of evolution, I am not sure what you mean.
Do you maybe believe that humans have been created in the form and shape of an ape by a God so that humans are in His image?
