Completely bogus. Evolution describes a mechanism that seems to fit
the observed data pretty well. It says nothing about the origin of
that mechanism, or the reason for its existence. And it certainly says
nothing about disallowing the existence of a Creator or about a lack
of purpose, or ethics, or morality. I think you're confusing the
principles of evolutionary science with the personal opinions of some
of the rabid atheistic dogmatists who happen to subscribe to that
science.
