Calculus does not try to get rid of the moral law-giver. It does not presuppose a world without a creator.
Think about our founders. Even they knew that the rights we have as Americans could never be considered without the foundation of them being given to us by our Creator. Not all of them were Christians. Several were deists who discounted miracles. And yet, the only way to claim unalienable rights was if they were given to us from above. You destroy that foundation, and you have rights given and taken away by preference.

Calculus does not try to get rid of the moral law-giver. It does not presuppose a world without a creator. Nor does evolution. All evolution states is that the origins of the living organisms we see can be explained by natural processes; just as calculus states that dynamical systems can be explained by a particular kind of mathematical equations. By showing how x changes with time, does calculus try to get rid of God, in saying that x does not change simply according to His will, but according to a set of mathematical laws? By doing medical research, do we try to get rid of God in curing the sick?
