Typically, atheists accept the theory of evolution.
However, since there's only one tenet of atheism, there's nothing stopping any individual atheist from believing in any old crazy thing, as long as it includes no gods (at which point they would cease to be an atheist).
In my observation, atheists who deny evolution often include aliens in their conjectures.

Most atheists I know and many theists accept evolution as the best explanation for what has happened to life since it arose. I have met a few atheists who don't necessarily accept evolution but think the God hypothesis is completely bogus. They would say they don't accept either evolution or creationism/ID and think we don't know. I have seen a website with some group promoting seeding of life by aliens but that is really fringe I think. I have a bachelor of science in biology and I think evolution theory is a pretty well documented and supported idea although we are still learning the exact mechanisms by which it occurs.

I believe in evolution but not all atheists believe in it. Most believe that all things that happen or occur on earth are nature's creation, no gods interfere in doing it.

Obviously they do. I believe in evolution, yet I am not an atheist.

Evolution is more plausible than some stories I have heard. I believe in the human race, The goodness is inherent, and that love & mercy still exist.

I believe in current changes I see in front of me in my lifetime
the rest is speculation but evolution seems more plausible than a Sky Faery imagining us into existence and placing gurus on earth who want us to obey and give to them as 'god's rep's

Atheism has nothing to do with the theory of evolution anymore than it has to do with the theory of gravity.
Having said that, however, I would be willing to bet that most atheists do support the theory of evolution.

Not all, quite a few do; as do I.
Apparently the only thing all atheists believe is grammar.

Definition of atheist: Not believing in god.
If there is no god, then the only possibility of how highly complex living beings came to existence, it is evolution.

Not sure- on the evolution theory- what do I believe in- not much that's for dang sure. Probably the basic good of mankind still. Haven't lost that belief yet.
