"...The Old Testament...proclaimed God as the Lord of History in contradistinction to the polytheistic patterns [of the gods of Mesopotamian and Egyptian polytheism] that made life and history in general dependent upon the rhythm of natural forces."

– Introduction to the Old Testament by Harrison, p. 457

Thus, the conflict between the God of Creation and "natural forces" long antedates Darwin. It is embedded within the original religions of the post-Flood world.
