These can all be verified with a little effort (I'm not doing all the work for you).
1. Darwin never once uses either the word ‘ape’ or ‘apes’ in his work ‘On The Origin of Species’, so he could never have said Humans were descendants of or shared a common ancestor with apes.
2. Richard Dawkins has never called himself an atheist, he actually considers himself to be agnostic.
3. Early on in Dawkins’ book, ‘The God Delusion’, he points out that no one can have total certainty that God does or does not exist.
4. Darwin had little faith in fossil records ever proving his theory of Evolution, he considered them too incomplete.
5. Sir Isaac Newton had an interest in the occult, he studied alchemy and believed he would discover The Philosopher’s Stone, a material capable of turning base metal into gold. He also believed that metals ‘possessed a sort of life’.
Enjoy,

The problem with the word "God" to refer to a supreme being is that it's generally understood to mean the character in the Bible. Since that's the case I will say definitely that such a being doesn't exist. The titles "God", "Lord". and "Lord of Hosts" referred to the Assyrian/Babylonian/Persian Emperors who ruled the Middle East for centuries.
The other names used to refer to the Jewish deity such as "Jehovah", or "YWHW" or "YAHWEH" is a different character than the "God" one.
All gods or deities are imaginary. Not one of any kind has ever done anything godly in scope since the first superstitious con man concocted it to give him power and control over his more dumb tribe members.
