RE: So christian's beleive in evolution. Apparently.
Evolution (term)

Evolution (biological)

Evolution (term) Wrote:The term evolution (from its literal meaning of "unfolding" of something into its true or explicit form) carries a connotation of gradual improvement or directionality from a beginning to an end point. This contrasts with the more general development, which can indicate change in any direction, or revolution, which implies recurring, periodic change.

We use the term now to mostly discuss biological evolution. The difference lies in the fact that Christians do NOT see the gradual changes in biology, even if they do recognize it in culture. "Evolution" does not mean only biological change, and thus they ignore what they don't like.
