Liberals always overstate the importance of evolution.

And conservtives always underestimate it's effects on our (social) thinking. It (the effect on out thinking) has resulted in gradually accepting the slow drift downward of every principle, attitude, and standard we have. Advocating unchanging standards is met by social ridicule, not agreement and approval, even on FR.

Are you stating that evolutionary theory is responsible for our personal and social "decline"?

Advocating unchanging standards is met by social ridicule, not agreement and approval, even on FR.

What's this mean? We should never advocate change/growth? Sometimes?

I, for one, don't underestimate the impact of the theory of evolution in social thinking. It's one of the core tenants of the religion of Humanism.
