The Effect of Darwinism on Morality and Christianity
Bergman, J. 2001.  Impact 336:i-iv. CELD ID 2853

Abstract
It sometimes is claimed that one can be both a Darwinist and a Christian (Miller). Others argue that religion and Darwinism are incompatible because they are separate fields that should not be intermixed (Gould). In fact, the Darwinism worldview leads directly to certain clear moral and religious teachings about the origin, purpose, and ultimate meaning of life that are opposed to the Christian, Jewish, and Islamic faiths. The problem is that Darwinists, can in good conscience say at one moment that they do not deal with God or religion, and then in the next breath make sweeping pronouncements about the purposelessness of the cosmos (Johnson, p. 118).
