Anything that supplants evolution will still have evolution as a component.

Absolutely. We've seen this in the development of evolutionary theory over the past 150 years. The neo-Darwinian theory is far different that what Darwin observed, but it still has elements of his theory and thought.
The problem that I have with "fundamentalist" evolutionists is there view that evolution is the answer to everything, including alot of social issues. The answers are always far more complicated than that.
