"People of faith who hold that disbelief in evolutionary theory is a necessary tenet of faith are likewise zealots."
You would, I hope, that the men whose lives are chronicled in Scripture - for example the Book of Acts - are zealots? If so, then I think we are all on the same page. If I could be found worthy to be tossed into that same camp as the men in Scripture and the authors of Scripture, then I would consider that an honor.
If, however, you want to say that Moses, Stephen, Peter, Paul and the like are not "zealots" who drew bright lines, then, we do have a problem. However, I am also confident that your problem is with understanding Scripture, not with me any opinions I have.
As far as I know, no Biblical figure believed that you must reject evolution since the theory of evolution was proposed only 150 years ago.

Evolutionary theory wasn't discussed in Acts.
