Evolution has nothing to do with the existence of nonexistence of gods. Evolution may indicate an insurmountable truth which contradicts the possibility of attributing the existence of life as we know it to the snap of a god's fingers, but "god" existing or not existing does not hinge on evolution.

Well, I'm probably going to put my foot in it here.
The existence of God, the creator and the reality of evolution are not mutually exclusive. Especially if you toss out all the gut reactions and instant tantrums that these questions usually cause.
This is how I look at it. Every one else can look at it however they want. This is just my view.
God, the creator of the Universe, got it all started with what us stupid little pin heads are calling 'the big bang.' The scientific 'laws' the scientists are discovering and have been discovering, and improving on for a while now, were also created at that time. This includes the 'laws' that govern evolution. Some of which we are still working on. The details are still sketchy as they are with darn near every other scientific finding.
If you must have the 'clay of the earth' reference, look at it this way: God is a potter, throwing the stuff of life on a potter's wheel. Forming single celled plants and animals, fish, amphibians, dinosaurs and eventually Man out of that clay of life. Some of those critters, the dinosaurs and some others, God has finished with. They have been fired and glazed and put on the shelf as fossils. The rest of us, All of us that still live, are still on that potters wheel being shaped by the creator.
Evolution continues.

On the contrary, Evolution is more like a demonstration of God.

For what drives the organisms to evolve? To even survive at all? What drives them to become more and more complex - and why? Single cells are much more likely to survive, than huge organisms after all.

And even Darwin said that explanation of evolution of a single celled organism into a highly complex structure like an eye by pure coincidence is just laughable.

For the Muslim there is no need for separation between religion and science. It is understood from the Quran, revealed over 1,400 years ago, that there is both; "Creation" and "Evolution." And in both instances, it is only Allah who is "Able to do all things." In fact, it was the Muslim scientists, more than 1,000 years ago, who set the stage for the adancement of learning, technology and disciplines in science that we know today.

Allah has explained how He created everythng in the universe and brought all life out of water. He created humans from earth (not monkeys) and there is no need to attempt fabrications of "links" to the animal world in Islam.

Please notice that of those that see a conflict, all are Christians, not the other way around.

People who understand evolution know there is nothing in the theory of evolution that says that God does not exist.

I also refer you to the position of the Catholic church (with roughly half the world's Christians) is that there is no incompatibility between evolution and the teachings of Christ. (See source.)

I do not believe evolution was real(I'm a Christian) but even if hypothically it was real then I would still say there was a God because someone or something still had to create the universe and the gorillas

Evolution discredits God's creation. God is every bit as real as you and I, and evolution by no means is the answer of life form!

Nothing in the theory of evolution says that god does not exist. It just says that we lack the imagination to conceive what "god" means.

Evolution doesn't mean that God does or doesn't exist. It just talks about how species develop and change over time.

evolution does not preclude the existence of a god - many religious people nowadays say that evolution is the process by which god makes stuff, we are a work in progress, etc.
