Evolution as evidence for atheism

Oh dear then you are as stubborn as you are confused. Try the encyclopedia of philosophy which is more authoritative than your google search

the·ism (thē'ĭz'əm)
"Belief in the existence of a god or gods, especially belief in a personal God as creator and ruler of the world."

Did you read the definition you posted? It supports Rhizo, not you. You said theism is the belief in a personal creator; this definition says "especially", which means that the belief in a personal God is not the only belief covered by theism, just one of the main ones.

To take another example: "I like muffins, especially blueberry ones" does not mean that I only like blueberry muffins; on the contrary, it means I like muffins (the first part), but have a preference for blueberry ones.

So whilst theism may (in most cases) mean "belief in a personal creator God", it is by no means the only definition of the word. Theism also means a general belief in gods, and thus deism is a subset of theism.
