Bob:
It appears to me that you are close to suggesting that we should
hold evolution by natural selection to be false, not because it is
false, but because of its consequences (baneful side effects) whether
it is true or not.
Your concern with the "baneful side effects" seems to conflate the two
significnt questions.
1. Is evolution by natural selection a substantially accurate account
of natural history?
2. Does evolution imply atheism?
