I have something to consider. Lets pretend for a moment that creation and evolution are subjective to the individual. Now, take a look at the principles or the world views of each. In the realm of creation, everything being created, designed and sanctified by the most high, we learn from the bible that everything is "beautifully and wonderfully made" and that the lord highly values and ponders on his creation and humans. So people have high value, priceless worth and dubbed in the absolute love and wonder of god.
In the realm of evolution, everything is prostrated to, nothing! Nothing created everything (big bang). Nothing created life (abiogenesis). Nothing designates purpose, reason, design and meaning. and human beings have absolutely no value at all. We are just a branch off the monkey block. Human life demands no respect and no consideration. I suppose you could say that the earth is God (enviro-mentally applied). Or say that man is God. Because there is nothing to decide what has worth and what doesn't.
I suppose you could say the golden rule is "he who has the gold makes the rules", I bet we don't see any of that today. But Jesus said that golden rule is, "love the lord your god above all else, and love your neighbor as yourself". In evolution, your neighbor could be, your family or your dog, or fish, or birds, animals, trees, doesn't matter.
Finally, I have always said that nature of humans is a self destructive one (see 'the fall of man' in genesis). the way of man (evolution) is total selfishness. What feels good, do it. No need to regard anyone else, they just complicate life and get in the way of our desires. I suppose you could say we are our own gods. We don't answer to anyone. But the way of God (creation) is total care and consideration. Jesus showed us that love in its truest form is sacrifice. Love is sacrifice. I like that. We are our brothers keeper. We take care of what we are given and we answer to god and are not exempt to his laws.
In conclusion, I would say that it all comes down to how we decide what principle to eat from. what tree to eat from, the tree of evolution, and become our own god. But the tree of creation, and humble yourself to God. These world views govern morality and cultural application in social economics.

Re: all hail
I agree, well said, I would like also to reiterate that according to the very protocol of religious application, Not speaking strictly of denominational interpretations and even divisions in the same religion, which most religions focus around a central theistic deity or central operations of spirits, It is not the leaders/deacons/pastors/etc. that (should) interpret and adjudicate doctrine as lecture.
Rather, it is left up to the individual to interpret arbitration from the principle or doctrine. In the realm of such religious arbitration, as in every subject, morality and spirituality has conventions of agreements and compromise to suggest the disputable yields of human nature and behaviorism, like denominations. While, of course, the obvious contentions go to employ universal encompassing ideologies of right and wrong in accordance with, not only, universal agreement in arbitration but universal and doctrinal application.
