If it is so simple why is there so much controversy over the word evolution?

There isn't.Just because you're playing a semantic game doesn't mean there is any controversy.It's just you playing a game.Go to PubMed. Do a search for any article regarding evolution. Please tell us how many references to the origin of the universe you find.Note: There are articles regarding the origin of the universe to be found on PubMed. Some of them even use the term "evolution." The task for you is to determine how many of them connect to biology.

Thank you for your submission to Science. Your paper was reviewed by a jury of seventh graders so that they could look for balance and to allow them to make up their own minds. We are sorry to say that they found your paper "bogus," specifically describing the section on the laboratory work "boring." We regret that we will be unable to publish your work at this time.

So why can't it be refered to as what it is? The Theory of Biological Evolution.

End of problem.

Because there is no problem. When we're talking biology, everybody understands that the term "evolution" refers to biological evolution, not stellar evolution.Note, both chemistry and biology use the term "nucleus." But somehow, nobody ever confuses the "nucleus" of the atom with the "nucleus" of the cell. When we talk about a "nuclear" weapon, we don't worry about teratogenic weapons. We all know we're talking about the atomic nucleus, not the cellular nucleus.Your complaint that there is some confusion about the term "evolution" is nothing more than a semantic game.
