Depends on the answer you want to receive.

Both. The biology section is for people who understand evolution, and want to learn more about the details. This section is for people to ask observe questions that show ignorance to the science behind it.
For example, in the biology section, you would ask "what is the mechanism that causes genes to fuse within a species?". Where here you would ask "Why do people confuse adaptation with evolution?"

The evolution question does not belong in the Biology section because evolution is not a science. Evolution defies mathematical probability. Evolution defies second law of thermodynamics.
Evolution claims, random change & natural selection make simple things spontaneously transform into more complex things without recourse to intelligent design. Chance and random changes simply do not produce higher levels of organization & complexity.
How ridiculously impossible it is MATHEMATICALLY, for 'order' - of the magnitude of the human brain and DNA - to come from absolute disorder? How could TIME alone account for the order in the universe, natural laws, complex organisms, etc.?

Sure you can ask it here.
Evolution has nothing to do with Biology....if anything paleontology should me the area. Evolution is a "theory" since there is NO evidence of macro-evolution. There never will be. Evolution does not exist as Darwin predicted. However, there are changes within species....but never one species changing into a new species. This you will not find in the fossil record.

Natural selection questions would be more appropriate. Evolution is not so hard to understand, or to believe. Surviving plants and animals can be different than their parents. Survival of the fittest isn't a new concept, it's thousands of years old, and certainly wasn't a unique thought of Darwin. Natural selection is a facsimile of Divine Providence, with the word God deleted. And yet, the implication of purpose and direction remains. A theologian might say "Birds have wings, as a result of God's Will." A Darwinist might say, "Birds have wings, to compete." It's simpler than that, birds have wings for flight. To say anything more, is to assign purpose, which is in the realm of religion, not science.
Ambiguity is the problem...

If the question is relating to the specifics of evolution, then naturally the best person to ask would be a biologist...
Most of the questions here though, are more to do with a did it, or didn't it, or should it or that sort of thing, which is more to do with belief than with practical technicalities.

I think that all the questions on evolution that CAN be asked, HAVE been asked. Use the Search Questions Function if you really want to know.

Since evolution is a scientific theory and not a religion, it should be discussed in biology.

Unfortunately because of the question of Creationism vs. Evolution and natural selection, the subjects are irrevocably tied together.

Or perhaps the Science and Mathematics section?

You're more likely to get a detailed authoritative response in Biology.
