The real question should be .... what are evolutionists afraid of?

They are afraid of the ego-damaging experience of being very wrong about something so fundamental and so universally espoused. They are also afraid of the implications of creationism, which probably drives the bulk of their objection.

If there really is a God, then there are all kinds of uncomfortable moral implications which follow.

Though most evolutionists (particularly in this country) believe in a God, which throws a giant economy-size monkey wrench in your argument.

Not really. If there's a God, it might be a good idea to do what he wants in order to gain reward or avoid punishment. (Assuming it can be determined what he wants; there seems to be a bit of a global dispute over that). But doing something to get a reward or avoid punishment isn't a particularly lofty moral code. Murder and theft are wrong regardless of whether God exists and will punish me if I do them.

Along with eternal implications...

Given that evolution says absolutely nothing whatsoever about whether or not "there really is a God", I don't see how this statement is relevant. Even if it were relevant, it would be false, as the conclusion would be dependent on the nature of the "God" that "really" exists.
