Assistance

[Robert Charbonneau]

Just to clarify, the issue I'm seeing with creating a child theme is that
the JavaScript assets are not being resolved, ie. Twitter Bootstrap and
Fontawesome.  If you create a child theme and view the source of the
WordPress page (CTRL-U to view source), trying to follow the URLs that
require these assets results in failure.  I've read that the complexity of
Evolve make it difficult to create a child theme with, but mostly it's that
the Evolve developers didn't consider how JavaScript assets would work when
a child is created.

See:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-evolve-carousel-doesnt-work-on-child-theme

For me, without copying the files or creating symbolic links, the carousel
doesn't work and some of the CSS for positioning isn't present.  Evolve may
just be too complex to become a child theme.
