The funny thing about evolution is that it makes no actual difference to me whether it is true or not. I have no vested interest, just curiosity.
If it was proved false tomorrow, what would that mean for atheism? Nothing. It would mean new information had been found, and science would adjust to form a new "best model". The foaming-at-the-mouth argument is that if evolution is wrong, then the only other answer is magic. No. I would simply not know what the best answer was for a time. It would be an exciting opportunity to research more myself to see what conclusion I might reach!
It's this ridiculous idea that evolution is a competitor (and the only such competitor) to religion that causes so many people to reject it I think. I doubt many atheists would ever suggest that the intention of evolutionary theory was to compete with religion. It's the paranoid ramblings of the guy caught with his hand in the cookie jar of fairy tales.
Don't ask for a competition religion. Stick to unfalsifiable garbage. Or else it may look a bit like this...
