The religious implications of evolution are obvious. Educated people know evolution by natural selection is how the world works, and we know a magic god fairy's magic wand was never required for any of it.
If a god fairy wasn't required for something as complex as the diversity of life, then it's fair to say the fairy wasn't necessary for anything else. A fairy with nothing to do is a fairy that doesn't exist.
In other words, Darwin killed God. Good riddance.
"Darwin was the first to use data from nature to convince people that evolution is true, and his idea of natural selection was truly novel. It testifies to his genius that the concept of natural theology, accepted by most educated Westerners before 1859, was vanquished within only a few years by a single five-hundred-page book. On the Origin of Species turned the mysteries of life's diversity from mythology into genuine science." -- Jerry Coyne
