Since its birth 4.5 billion years ago, the Sun's luminosity has very gently increased by about 30%.3 This is an inevitable evolution which comes about because, as the billions of years roll by, the Sun is burning up the hydrogen in its core. The helium "ashes" left behind are denser than hydrogen, so the hydrogen/helium mix in the Sun's core is very slowly becoming denser, thus raising the pressure. This causes the nuclear reactions to run a little hotter. The Sun brightens.
I remember back in 1991, Florida was predicted to be under water by now.

If you think an intelligent agent is causing changes to DNA, that is absolutely at odds with thinking the changes are random mutations. When I hear people say that some Christians believe that evolution is how God achieves his goals, I always thought that meant that an intelligent designer set the process in motion and went away and let nature run its course. Are you saying that people who say this believe that an intelligent agent is actively changing DNA? If so, how many changes are due to the agent and how many are natural? And how do you tell?
People who disagree because of their worldview are typically at odds with vast amount of evidence that falsifies their beliefs. From the disagreements I've seen, it generally a two-sided issue with evidence firmly coming down on one side, and the other side unwilling to change their beliefs to fit the evidence. In the case of evolution and AGW, the evidence comes down firmly on the side of natural process without intelligence for evolution, and human-produced greenhouse gases causing warming for AGW.
I think everyone agrees abortion should be avoided. The people who want to keep/make it legal know that abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. The idea is that if abortion is legal, it will be done in a properly medically supervised way, rather than with a rusty coat hanger in a dark alley. It's not like anyone is cheering, "Yea! Abortions are great!"
So, sure, everyone agrees that the need for abortion should be avoided. Proper education, easily available birth control, and adoptions can go a long way to reducing the need for abortions. I think if there need to be abortions, the morning after pill or something similar is probably the most ethical way to go about it.
