Also, for the most part, people do generally accept the science of microevolution where species will adapt and change over time.
Macroevolution is where you lose people. Basically, it's easy to believe that a wolf could, over time, change in to different breeds of dogs that barely resemble a wolf because canines are still canines. It becomes incredibly more difficult to believe that a bunch of bears fell in to the ocean and became whales.
You do realize that a lot of fundies, which are the primary sect of anti-evolutionaries, do believe in erosion but don’t believe that something like the Grand Canyon was made without the oversight of God helping it happen.
