Experimentation, Fall of Humankind, Ascent of Humankind

Creationism vs. Evolutionism is a Cosmogonic debate that usually distracts from the more substantive Moral challenge that the latter poses to traditional Theology.  While the original Astronomical premises of that Theology are destroyed by the repudiation of Geocentricism, its Ontological premises remain intact--its deity as a maximum, and, hence, perfect entity, with respect to which lesser entities are imperfect.  Now, in that Theology, according to the opening sequences of Genesis, humans enjoy some post-Creation perfection, i. e. existence in Eden.  However, their experimenting is the occasion of a disastrous and fateful Fall from that perfection.  So, the more consequential challenge that Evolutionism poses to the Theology is its theme of Ascent.  The theme in general is entailed in the concept of Evolution, and is instantiated by experimentation that can lead to an increase in the well-being of humans.  So, the inversion that Evolutionism effects with respect to traditional Theology transforms Experimental Reason from an, at best, Morally tainted status, to inherently Good.
