In purely etymological terms, I don't think that there is a difference. Evolution has come to mean Darwin's theory and only that. Evolvement is a perfectly acceptable noun to represent the process of changing, for example, from an infant to an adult.

Well from my point of view, 'evolvement' is a really stupid word that someone invented or forced through the rules of word creation. When I went out on the internet to do a search a tiny 26 entries were returned, several of which were 'creative' uses of the word.
A definition I found
Roget’s II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition. 1995.
evolvement
NOUN: A progression from a simple form to a more complex one: development, evolution, growth, progress, unfolding. See CHANGE
Except for the loaded attitudes toward biological evolution, I can't see a reason for using it in preference to change except for its implication of simple to complex and actually nothing about evolution requires that.

From my perspective, though they denote the same concept, they connote different things based on context. "Evolution," again from my perspective, is a more scientific term while "evolvement" is not (even though you could certainly use them interchangeably). Moreover, I think it's a matter of voice, so it depends on how the words work for the reader and subject matter.

Like is defined in terms of more of a crush or affection/fondness. Love is the outworking of your truest feelings in your actions and behavior. If you really love someone, you strive to put their needs above your own. You might do that too if you like someone, but it's not a long term thing. Good luck! Hope this helped.

Evolution is a word and evolvement isn't...

I don't believe there is a difference. it is simply a matter of tenses.
