Hi there!
So this is something novel about Creation/Evolution for you. There is a very clear distinction between what Creationists say and what Evolutionists believe: it regards the Sabbath.
The Creation account says that God created the world, and then rested on the Sabbath. As a result, Creationists both believe God created the Sabbath and they keep the Sabbath themselves. The good that this does has been noted in various ways, but as to the context at hand, it is enough to say "it increases survival".
Now, though not necessarily through any fault of their own, Evolutionists do not believe in the Sabbath, nor (consequently) do they keep the Sabbath. One can only conclude that they "survive less" in respect to the Sabbath. But what is belief, if you never believe it stops?
The problem that Evolutionists face, is that there is no cohesion behind their forming, it just seems to happen all the time, with no lower or upper limit. The whole point of the Sabbath to the Creationist, is that the "spirit" is renewed and revived - giving survival meaning and impetus. You can't just pretend you have rested.
What will be interesting, is how this sense of rest develops over time. Rest has all sorts of implications for how adaptations are used, how much and so forth. A creature who is desperate to rest, has little interest in being something different altogether - that's just common sense.
Will Evolutionists learn from the Creationist example? Only time will tell!
