Conversation between Mendel, Darwin, and Lamarck

     In a world where different people thinks differently and have different opinion. It is hard to setting on a conclusion of what exactly happen. Gregor Mendel believes in genetics and Darwin and Lamarck believes in the theory of evolution. However these two topics can be related to each other quite easily.
It doesn't take much to imagine a conversation between these three scientists.

Mendel: I think i have finally found a connection between evolution and genetics!
Darwin: Oh really, would you like to share what it is?
Mendel: Well, according to your theories on evolution, parents are suppose to have the same traits as their kids and if the parents have gone through mutation, then doesn't that mean the mutation gets passed onto their offspring and that offspring have the mutation of the parents.
Lamarck: Are you try to say that, if a parents have gone through a mutation in their genes, which changes and therefore evolves them, then their children will have that change or mutation since the parents have gone through it.
Mendel: Yes! couldn't have said it better myself.
Darwin: But how does this mutation in Genes have effect on evolution ?
Mendel: Well if a parents pass on a mutated gene, then their children will have that mutation which changes them, and if the mutation offspring have children then the children will have that mutation and it goes on and on.
Lamarck: and then eventually a portion of that population will have that mutation therefore having evolution.
Darwin: Wow, thats ... really really good.
Mendel: I know, My genius is ... almost frightening .
