I agree with you assertions about morality and society. Certainly, without being anchored in God's law, society's laws become nothiing more than a guide to what is expedient for the state.

However, evolution does not "do away" with God. Evolution doesn't "elevate" man, either. Evolution is a theory used to explain what is found in the geological and fossil record. Those may exist who use evolution to support their particular world view, but there are also those who use faith to support a twisted, immoral world view, as well.

I am a Christian, an ordained Episcopal minister, a scientist--I find no reason not to believe in God and accept the theory of evolution.

The Bible was not written to answer scientific questions such as how the earth was made. The Bible was written to explain man's relationship and dependence on God. The two have nothing to do with one another.

The bible was written to explain God's creation. In fact, the bible tells exactly how He did it, and evolution does not figure into it in the least

That said, I suggest you read this:

Then, I ask you this: why during over 2 decades of my education, was the story of Emma Darwin totally suppressed?
