Answer The term 'evolutionist' is sometimes used to mean a person who accepts the science of the evolution of species. On this definition, an 'evolutionist' accepts science as describing the natural universe and believes that empirical information should be accepted when proven to scientific standards.

Many Christians also accept the science of the evolution of species, and are therefore also 'evolutionists'. Thus, there is no essential difference between these Christians and 'evolutionists'.

However, some Christians believe that evolution may undermine belief in religion and therefore strongly oppose acceptance of the Theory of Evolution, even by others. Some, known as creationists, seek to look for flaws in the science of evolution so that it can be dismissed, while other creationists look for ways to at least partially harmonise their belief system with science.

Can Christians be evolutionists why or why not?

Yes. "Evolutionists" believe that life slowly evolves over time from generation to generation through mutations and natural selection. The basic beliefs of Christians are that Jesus is the divine son of God, and that he sacrificed himself to save people from their sins. These beliefs do not contradict one another. Not all Christians have such a literal interpretation of the story of creation in the Bible. Some view many of the stories of the Old Testament to be metaphorical rather than factual accounts. A basic belief of Christianity is that God created the heavens and the earth. God created man not a monkey that evolved into a man. A Christian couldn't be an evolutionist ie believe in the theory of evolution.

What problem does chromosome number of various organisms present to evolutionists?

The variation in chromosome number among species can make it challenging for evolutionists to understand how these changes occurred over time. It can also complicate the process of studying the evolutionary relationships between different species. Additionally, changes in chromosome number can affect an organism's fertility and reproductive success, which can impact its evolutionary trajectory.
