While I have a vague idea of what you want to say, your lack of explanation really makes it hard for me to respond. Therefore, I will offer the following reitteration of what you were trying to say. Tell me if I am correct.
Paul in Romans 1 is talking about none other than Rome, the capital of a vast military and economic empire. In other words, he was talking about Romans. He referred to them as those who "changed the truth into a lie and worshipped and served the creature rather than god."
In the same way, we could view this passage to talk about the British Empire, which was also an awesome military and economic power of the world. Since the theory of evolution originated in England and conjured up by an englishman, we could view evolution as representing the roman idols that the romans were worshipping. In other words, you are suggesting that the biblical passage refers both to the Roman Empire and the British Empire. Furthermore, if I may suggest, that both of these entities would suffer the same wrath of god that Paul mentioned many times throughout Romans 1.
Am I correct so far?

Where does it say Paul is talking about Rome?
A couple of passages from Romans 1...
quote:
7To all in Rome who are loved by God and called to be saints:
quote:
14I am obligated both to Greeks and non-Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are at Rome.
Now, given that nowhere does he literally says "these are acts of romans...", would it make sense to talk to romans about people, say, in China, especially if you are trying to make a moral argument?
