I use the term evolution biologically and technically. It describes the process by which populations of organisms change over time through successive generations. It is driven by natural selection, genetic drift, mutation, and gene flow.
Can you be Christian and believe in evolution?
Sure, but you don't have to. You can assume evolution without believing in it. Let's talk about the utility of the theory of Evolution.
I am a Christian. I used the evolution model to implement AI programs. They are called evolutionary algorithms. You don't have to believe in evolution to work with it. If you search US patents in the last ten years, you will find many applications of evolution models. The theory of evolution has practical values. The US economy benefits from it. You cannot deny its utility.
Unlike other branches of hard science, evolution has less mathematical support. Nevertheless, it is a useful paradigm.

If the theory works in daily practical life, there is no need to reject it. There is no need to believe in it either in the sense of spiritual faith.
