Can Muslims accept evolution as science or must they see it as evil?

We accept evolutionary science on the evidence presented. No religious ideology can trump the evidence for the fact of evolution and the theory of evolution by natural selection, which explains much of the fact of evolution. I find it passing strange that someone could see a scientific theory as evil since the theory makes no claim on the supernatural. It is up to Muslims what they will accept, but the theory is the bedrock of biology and you cannot do much biology without the theory's overarching explanatory power.
