Liberals however must be evolutionists since it is part of their orthodoxy.

"Social Darwinism" refers to natural selection, not evolution per se. I believe fully that natural selection occurs. I expect there's little doubt about that among conservatives. What I doubt is that you and I are descended from single celled organisms as a consequence of an incredibly long series of mutations. It's this latter concept that many conservatives reject, but leftists embrace.
