Like I said. Nope.
One can be an atheist and still reject evolution as a plausible explanation. My granddad in fact is an atheist but he doesn't think evolution is possible.
Atheism has nothing to do in answering any question. It is merely a stance. An atheist is without theism. That's it.
Being an atheist doesn't automatically come with a set of beliefs. It isn't tied in with evolution or anything else. You can with-hold judgement on many explanations or all of them.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
