Where are the implications of the theory of evolution most evident with regards to Divine scriptures and religious thought?

In general, it is as if the theory of evolution was developed solely to eliminate the contribution of God from the system of nature and life. And, unfortunately, it did gain some advancement in this regard. For example, through its advancement, the word “creation” was eventually banned from educational curricula, and replaced by the theory of evolution. Earnest Haeckel expressed the view of most evolutionists best when he said: 


“In consequence of Darwin's reformed Theory of Descent, we are now in a position to establish scientifically the groundwork of a non-miraculous history of the development of the human race.” (1)


Upon consideration, one of the greatest impacts of evolution was its elimination of the concept of a Creator, a Supreme Power, an Omnipotent God, and similar concepts, replacing them with non-theist concepts, such as natural selection, chance, survival of the fittest.
