The existence of God is orthogonal to the validity of evolution as a mechanism for speciation.

You are evading my point. If God exists, why would He lie about creating man? Why could he not have created the different species? The main argument of evolution is that there is no other way that species could have come about. If evolution admits that God exists that argument is null and void. So yes, evolution requires that there be no God. That evolutionists do not admit it is because they know quite well that there is no way that abiogenesis could be true, so they are willing to have half a loaf rather than losing the whole argument.

The existence of God in no way proves the validity of the Bible or any other religion. This is a fairly gross fallacy that isn't brought up often enough. If I accept that God exists, and I do in fact accept that possibility, it says absolutely nothing about the Bible, Christianity, or any of that being anything other than utter nonsense cooked up by some fellas a few thousand years ago. Even if God exists and he is more or less the same God the Biblical people were talking about, it does not lend much support to anything in the Bible being true. God could very well exist AND you might be wrong on every single account of the truth EXCEPT the fact that God exists. But I don't see too many believers asserting any reasonable limits of their knowledge of God; if they know anything, they seem to know most everything.
