Evolution means that things change over time. Yep. I agree. Things change over time. But, how did the things get here in the first place? This is where orgins come into play. This is also where religion comes into play. Some people make a religion of evolution by trying to have it account for something that it can't - namely orgins. To believe in evolution in regards to orgins requires FAITH (and therefore, it is a religion) because it is not testable. So, evolution can be a religion - it just depends on one's understand of evolution as it relates to orgins (how did all things get here in the first place vs. the simple and proveable fact that things change over time).
