Either, actually, depending on how you read it, I suppose.
I'm not arguing the "evolution-isn't-scientific" point here...
AND
I'm not really debunking combining the 2 either really - although I _did_ do
that to a certain degree.
My point #1 - this is not a new thought, many have considered it, and while it
had its followers to a certain degree a few decades ago, it has largely been
abandoned today.

The scientific basis for that action, I'm keeping in another thread (my choice)
Anyone else can certainly do otherwise.
