it makes me quite sad. We can agree to disagree, but evolutionism only validates our culture of death and amorality.
If we were not created, then owe nothing to a creator, and have no rules to follow. Anyone’s morals or lack thereof are equally valid, as they all evolved from the same system. Hence abortion, euthanasia, stem cell research and the like are not morally depraved choices, but just continuing evolution. This leads to moral decline and eventually the death of our society.

Totally in agreement with you! Thanks for stating this so well!!
What you say is true. However, many bad things, are done in the name of something good. Just because the theory of evolution is used to justify bad things, does not mean that the theory itself is bad.
Jesus himself was crucified in the name of religion. The faith itself isn’t bad, only the way people chose to use it.
There are many deeply religious people, who abhor abortion and euthanasia, but do not reject the theory of evolution. For many, evolution is not incompatible with either the Bible or their religious beliefs. The theory of evolution is not compatible with a strictly literal interpretation of some translations of the Bible. For other interpretations, it is completely compatible. Evolution is not responsible for the moral decline of our society, but maybe those who misinterpret it to mean that God does not exist are.
A society that celebrates abortion while ridiculing motherhood, that de-values children, that teaches young men to abuse women and kill each other in gang wars, that dumbs down education, that punishes self-reliance, that promotes homosexuality, that promotes drug abuse, that has an anything goes, might makes right mentality, that endorses euthanasia for an ever-growing list of people -- such a society is at an evolutionary dead end. Such people will simply die out.

I believe life wa created. We know from the bible that God works through famine and the God works through war. Why is it odd that He would work through biology?
In any case, he has given us the tools to explore the world and its really clear that life evolved from simple to complex. That doesn’t change my faith because I’ve had a personal experience with God and he asked me to do two things. I’ve tried to do those things and my life has beomce much better.
I could die happy now although I am in no rush. I owe him more than I could ever repay and the particular mechanism of science that turns out to be true won’t effect that.
