Perhaps it would be helpful to break apart the different things that are

Common usage of the word "evolution" is the idea that living things in our
world have come into being through unguided naturalistic processes
starting from a primeval mass of subatomic particles and radiation, over
approximately 20 billion years.

A more precise understanding of the above statement divides the "atoms to
people" transition into four realms:

   1.Cosmology is the branch of astronomy which deals with the origin and
formation of the general structure of the universe.
   2.Abiogenesis refers to first life - the production of living organisms
from inanimate matter.
   3.Micro-evolution or speciation refers to populational and species
change
through time. There are many published examples of speciation, if by the
development of a new "species" we mean the development of a new population
of
individuals which will not breed with the original population to produce
fertile offspring. Micro-evolution is a scientific fact which no one,
including creationists, dispute.

This is not true, there are creationists that dispute it. SRC for example.
