Nuclear bombs have never done anything to cure sickness or abolish world hunger, and the fatalism induced by the nuclear threat has induced many to live like animals in wild sex orgies. (Why didn't I think of lecturing my dates on the finer details of evolution back when I was single?
)
Because of the evil perpetrated by nuclear bombs, I have decided not to believe in them.
Techristian, as people have been telling you, the scientific value of a theory is not measured on a moralistic scale. Even if belief in evolution had brought about total moralistic collapse worldwide, it wouldn't make the theory any less true.
