Thinking harder, I realise that the logic of my argument doesn't depend macro-evolution. I only need micro-evolution as a premise.
My concern is that humans are only just smart enough to sustain civilization. A dozen generations of dysgenic mating and civilization collapses. Then micro-evolution gets re-run. Civilization probably comes back eventually, but future degenerate humans are in competition with other intelligent animals. Maybe Civilization II is populated by the descendants of humans, or may chimpanzees or raccoons :-)
Christianity is complacent about this. In particular they are complacent about race mixing, because Christianity is hardcore in its universalism. Opting for Christianity is like opting for (Rhodesia --> Zimbabwe), but globally.
