It's not. It IS necessary for the creationists who argue that the the bible is inerrant and the literal word of God, and base their view of creation on that.

So, the belief that something cannot come from nothing, the teleological argument for God's existence, gaps that have only widened in the fossil record, et cetera all come from the book of Genesis?

"So, the belief that something cannot come from nothing,"

Which is not part of the "theory of evolution."

"the teleological argument for God's existence,"

Which says nothing about evolution.

"gaps that have only widened in the fossil record, et cetera all come from the book of Genesis?"

The result of people looking to poke holes in evolutionary theory (since they have no science to contribute themselves) based on their belief in biblical creation.
