Thanks in advance. I come from a Christian school so they don’t teach evolution because they don’t believe it.

Dumbing it down using sentient M&Ms.
You love M&Ms, but GREEN is your favorite color so you refuse to eat green M&Ms. You take them out of every pack and store them in a nice jar.
The M&Ms start to notice that their green brothers survive longer than the other colors. So the other colors hatch a plan to avoid being eaten — they try to make themselves green via various ways. The blues try to mix with the yellows. Some other colors try to rub themselves on the green ones so that the green dye gets on them. Some others try to mate with the green ones so that their kids come out at least half green.
Over time, the ones who succeed the best at turning into green M&Ms survive longer than the other ones who fail at turning green. After a long time, all the remaining and future M&Ms become so damn good at it, that every single pack is now full of green M&Ms, and none gets eaten.
This is a simplified explanation of “survival of the fittest”.
