Evolutionists claim that evolution explains the creative nature of the universe,
No, they don't. The theory of evolution covers diversity of biological life forms. That's it. IT says nothing about a "creative nature" of the universe itself.
and that it's just some insecure nursery rhyme for people to believe a designed universe has a designer.
The theory of evolution makes no claims whatsoever regarding a designer of the universe. Your questions are founded upon a faulty understanding of the scope of the theory of evolution.

"Origin of the Species" is the title of Charles Darwin's book.
Origin means how something originates.
Meaning how something comes to be.
Meaning how it all started.
Meaning Evolution has to do with how things began.
Meaning Evolution bumps up against God as Prime Mover, God as Creator or even God as Personal Intercessor.
Meaning Evolution makes an inherent claim against a Designer of the Universe by asserting that man evolved from conscienceless single cell life forms.
This is a "claim" or "argument" against there being a good Creator God who designed the universe -- of which Man with a conscience and soul is the centerpiece. It is the inherent assertion of the Origin of the Species that God does not exist. And Darwin didn't need to mention God for this claim to be made. He just needed to construct a scientific sounding argument that man evolved from simple life forms. And I mean "scientific sounding" for the year 1859.
