Is the fact that there are athiests in the world just one more piece of evidence, in an overwhelming pile of evidence, supporting evolution?

I'm a little lost and you point here. I think you are forgetting about free will. If there is a God who has created life with free will then one must be able to chose to believe in anything other than him. I think you argument supports free will not evolution. You might ask how can evolution support the fact that you can discern evidence. How do you not know your thoughts are not simply a chance reaction to environment. How does evolution explain the laws of logic? how in a world view that calls upon chance do you get logical thought. The fact that you have the ability to discern to a somewhat faithful degree what evidence is, tells me there is a creator.

Probably not. Unless the human capacity for thought is what you mean.
There's plenty of evidence for evolution that doesn't deal with opinion and subjectivity.

I am not following your logic. The fact that there are atheists in the world has nothing to do with whether or not evolution is true.

Atheism as such is not a pointer to evolution, for one can be born a Christian and later become an atheist too (I've known many). However, it is mostly palaeontological and archaeological evidences besides others which point towards evolution.

No. Opinion is not evidence. There is plenty of evidence to support evolution; but human opinion is not evidence.

No. It only means that people are just as subject to herding as the next religion.

Naw, it's just what those persons choose to believe. We all have the right to believe in what we will. They may be right, they may not be right, but that's ok. It makes the world an interesting place.

This question does not make much sense.. maybe if you would elaborate a little more on why you think this to be the case. In my opinion, Thiests will just see this and say 'no, it's evidence that God created us to have free will'. Seriously, think through your questions a little more before you post them.

well, actually, the fact that religion even exists is, in fact, support of evolution. atheism, however, is just a signal that the medieval age is over.
