"Ye [muslims] are the best of peoples, evolved for mankind, enjoining what is right, forbidding what is wrong, and believing in Allah. If only the People of the Book had faith, it were best for them: among them are some who have faith, but most of them are perverted transgressors."

How come that got translated to 'evolved'?

You're stuck on the modern definition of evolve, FD. Evolve comes from the Latin word evolvere- to unroll, open, unfold.

In chemistry, we say for example - when acid is added to granular pool chlorine, a toxic gas is evolved. (is given off, comes about)

I don't think you can distinguish Islam and Chistianity on the 'one man' issue. Islam claims to incorporate the old and new testaments, but claims they were distorted. But in some respects it must be based on them, though as far as I can tell they toss them out completely.

Christianity, as far as the enw testament is concerned, is also based on a single man. Both Christianity and Islam have direct quotes from the one man, plus what a bunch his immediate followers said.

the single man in Christianity that you speak of is infact GOD while in islam it is a man who hears god, entirely different....
