The short answer is "not at first", however, Darwin understood (and fought with) the ultimate end of his claims. If evolution was finally drawn out as fact, God would have a lot of explaining to do.
I, myself, believe that Darwin was well meaning, however, he has been proven wrong in the end. As many have stated in this thread, and past threads, true science is now coming to the conclusion, that Darwin was wrong. His theory has not survived the scrutiny of the (lack of) evidence, and so punctuated equilibrium, a host of hoaxes, and hopeful monster theories abound.
Evolution didn't start off with the purpose of "murdering God", as some put it, but it would be comforting to believe that we would not be held accountable by a superior being at the end of the age... So that's what it became, a comfort to those whose lifestyles could no longer be considered as "sin". Eliminate God, and right and wrong don't exist; so are the thoughts of those who are willing to believe the "liberal media", for once, on this topic... But who are quick to pounce on these same liberal professors when they squelch conservative speech in their classrooms and on their campuses, shouting "SPIN" at the top of their lungs when someone of a conservative viewpoint is attacked by the same lies. Interesting, and sad, that they don't see the spin when it suits their interests.
Interesting what (and who) the depraved mind will believe when they really want to.

(Evolution does not attempt to eliminate religion, it IS a religion...)

Many have said that, yes. But many have said the Earth is flat, too. Evidence of evolution grows daily. Evidence of competing hypothesis does not.

Yep. It's only been in the
last 150 years. Evolution is sure to fall as a theory any day now...

Oh, sorry, but falsifying evolution would not turn me into a theist. Your religious claims have to stand on their own merits, they do not win out by default simply because some other -- and totally unrelated -- viewpoint is falsified.
