What was the reaction from a religious point of view of Darwin's theory of evolution?

Darwins work on his theory of Evolution by means of Natural Selection had an impact on religion because it proved the creation story of the 3 main monotheistic religions false. It proved the creation story false because it showed that not all life had just been planted on Earth all at once by a creator, but that live began about 3.5 billion years ago and has been constantly evolving by means of Natural Selection to this day. The evidence is so overwhelming for evolution, that most followers of these religions now accept that their creation story was not factual.
