Before de-converting, everything I knew about the actual process of evolution, was probably from a Chick Tract. Of course, the gene was depicted as being 'modified' by a bolt of lightning - which from reading the Greatest Show on Earth is clearly a Straw-Man argument.

But I need information about the mechanics of evolution and origins of DNA. Does anybody know of good books on these topics? I have 2 recently emptied book-shelves to fill so please, refer away. Thanks

Darwin's "Origin of the species" couldn't hurt.
