Any civilization that explains away God, that excludes him from existence , has sealed their own fate.
There can be no life without God.
Evolution doesn't say there is no god.... it only explains the process of how new species develop over time. But I can see why you would be afraid that it does.
I personally do not require my Creator to be full of wizz-bang miracles...
The fact that we can understand how Creator works doesn't make his work less impressive or inspiring.
But again, I can see why it would cause you discomfort.
When God is removed from a civilizations history, there is then nothing left to eventually keep them from killing each other.
I'm not sure I agree with this... many atheists I know are very moral people.
If God does not intervene, a godless civilization would only eventually kill each other. I see the seeds of that self destruction now.
Civilizations come and go... often due to their own hand. I'm not sure god minds. Civilizations are just collections of the moment and as people change so to do the cultures. In many ways this a healthy process in the long run. Young civilizations are energetic and full of hope for the future... old civilizations tend to become corrupted by their own stagnation.
