• From the Cambridge online dictionary:

  evolution Show phonetics noun [U]
  the way in which living things change and develop over millions of years, or a gradual process of change and development:
  Darwin's theory of evolution

• From the Merriam-Webster:

  4 a : the historical development of a biological group (as a race or species) : PHYLOGENY b : a theory that the various types of animals and plants have their origin in other preexisting types and that the distinguishable differences are due to modifications in successive generations

• Richard Dawkins ("Evolution has made it possible to be an intellectually fulfilled atheist") or the late Carl Sagan, who, writing in the introduction of Stephen Hawkings book, A Brief History of Time, claimed naturalistic evolution leaves "nothing for a creator to do." Gould has proposed to substitute for Christianity and other religions, "a far more stately mansion for the human soul...."

I assume there was a point in those quotations. I will wait for you to let us in on it. :)

PS: Nothing in those quotes says that evolution requires atheism. That's why most people who accept evolution are theists.

What you are talking about there is conclusions that some individuals have drawn. Nothing to do with whether or not evolution is per se inherently atheist. "Leaving nothing for God to do" could equally well apply to atomic theory. At one time people blamed (or thanked) God for the precise placement of every lightning strike. Presumably meteorology and electrical theory are atheistic too, because they replaced the need for a deity's direct action in that instance.

I note that you've failed to address any of the other points I've made or questions that I've asked you.
