conservative evolutionists

I'm convinced that in a few years, if it hasn't happened, conservative Christians will realize that there's nothing in evolution counter to their theology. Evolution still provides as much of a mechanism for hereditary sin as creation does (I mean, it makes as much or as little sense with evolution as it does with creation, it just doesn't necessarily start with Adam and Eve). The only thing that might have to change is their understanding of the Bible, but they will probably adjust to literalism being the 'intentions' of the writers, so that the literal truth of Genesis is that it is mythology. That's just my prediction.

i'm glad you added 'gambling' as a label here, at least on some level you're aware how tragically your predictions will fail.
