The teaching of evolution is used for the point of being able to state that the world exists without a creator. That has been so stated by all the "fathers" of evolution.

That would be inaccurate. For example, Darwin said, in the last sentence of the 6th Edition of On the Origin of Species:

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed by the Creator into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone circling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being evolved."

If true then Darwin was an ID'er.. You know intelligent design.. before it was called that..
