Well in that case if you prefer not to use the term "God," you may simply call him/it: "The Extremely Powerful, Uncaused, Necessarily Existing, Non-Contingent, Non-Physical, Immaterial, Eternal Being Who Created the Entire Universe...And Everything In It." With a meaning and a purpose to life.
Your complaint would carry a lot more weight if you could prove we didn't evolve. Btw, evolution is mindless, but not completely dumb: there is an element of chance, but the random part is precisely what natural selection works on to bring non-random results: organisms better adapted to their reproductive environment.
If our evolution did not involve an element of chance or the universe was created by a being, it does not follow that the being (or beings) in question is/are extremely powerful, uncaused, necessarily existing, non-contingent, immaterial, or eternal. We could conceivable be creating universes by accident with our particle accelerators without knowing it, for instance...would any inhabitants of such universes be justified in presuming their creator was extremely powerful, uncaused, necessarily existing, non-contingent, non-physical, immaterial, and eternal? Note that in this scenario, the inhabitants still 'arrived' by evolution.
And the number of scenarios where a being without godlike qualities creates the universe, intentionally or inadvertently, are potentially infinite. What's a good reason why we should dismiss all of those scenarios in favor of yours?
But first, prove that a being created the universe and evolution isn't real, and then we can move on to the specifics of figuring out what actually happened.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
