God didn't create evolution. Faith evolved.
and if there is a god then he/she/it would have to be a pretty lazy one for doing nothing for 4 billion years all so. Even then scientists have created a virus and are now working on making a bacteria which would suggest that life can create itself. The earliest belief in an after life known to us is from neanderthal burial grounds 25,000 years plus, that suggests they made preparations for their dead for an after life.
The reason I prefer to be called a realist is because the word atheist was invented by theists which has a negative connotation, that's like a negative "A" and then another negative "theist". I'd rather a positive description. Let's not give then their way all the time.
Atheist = Realist
Theist = Arealist
Theist = Arealist
