Re: Who or what is the center of attention.
The problem with both is the they remove humans from the center of the universe and from special attention. It is pure hubris that underlies some people problems with our increasing understanding of how the universe actually unfolds.
I think that is an important point. Many people seem to like the idea of God revolving around themselves.
It has nothing to do with God. The problem for them isn't that they make it easier or harder to believe in God. Heliocentrism doesn't move God out of the center of the universe. Evolution says nothing about how God became to be.
More to the point, science can never address issues such as the existence or non-existence of GOD. Reality is.
If GOD exists, She exists regardless of any evidence that shows It does not exist.
If GOD does not exist, He does not exist regardless of any evidence that shows It does exist.

Then you need cosmology as well as evolution to get to your "evolutionism". Thus the idea that evolution alone leads to evolutionism is false.
You also need to throw in Abiogenesis as well and even then all you have is a glimpse into "How GOD did it".

You mean Christ didn't really die?
Man born of woman will die.
