Evolution is the only theory of origins compatible with atheism.
What about all the theists that understand and accept evolution?
BTW, I'm agnostic, not atheist, but I do prefer verifiable evidences to believe in anything, particularly with god.
ATHEISM is exactly like THEISM. (I am talking about theism in general, and not monotheism, polytheism, henotheism, or what have you). They are alike in the way that both deal with the issue of the EXISTENCE of god or gods. Atheists simply don't believe in their existences.
THAT'S BL@@DY ALL!
There are whole bunch of theists and religious people who accept and understand evolution.
ATHEISM is only theological position: so atheists don't believe in god. ATHEISM is not scientific position. So ATHEISM IS NOT SCIENCE.
ATHEISM is not legal position. Nor is ATHEISM a moral or ethic stance.
If you don't bl@@dy well understand that, then let me approach you from another direction, with some examples for you.
Evolutionary biologist (EB) is a job or career. So as an EB, do you require to believe in god to do your job?
An EB can believe in whatever religion he like, or not follow any religion at all, as long that none of interfere with his works. IF YOU CAN'T separate what you do for a living with what you believe in, then you shouldn't become an EB.
The same could be said about any other job, profession or trade.
So here is another example: Carpenter.
If you were to do carpentry for a living, do you require belief in god in order to work as a carpenter? (My answer would be - No.)
Do you require to give up religion to be a "good" carpenter? (Again, no.)
The level of how good you are, as a carpenter is dependent on your skill, not your belief (or disbelief) in god. Anyone, including atheists or Christians, or whatever religion you believe in can become carpenters.
It is only utter stupidity for anyone to think that atheists are the only ones to believe in evolution. I am an agnostic, and I accept evolution BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THE THEORY; UNDERSTAND THE EVIDENCES THAT SUPPORT EVOLUTION; AND I UNDERSTAND THE MECHANISM BEHIND EVOLUTION.
The KEY is UNDERSTANDING.
Anyone can learn evolution.
You apparently don't understand, even with you supposedly have studied 1 year in evolution at university. Apparently you don't understand science whatsoever, otherwise you wouldn't make such stupid claims.
PLEASE, stop linking evolution and atheism as if they are the same.

I would ask your cousins "how did we get here?" and they wouldn't be able to answer.
They simply don't understand because THEY DON'T REALLY CARE about evolution. Their work and educational backgrounds don't require them to understand evolution or any other scientific. They are accountants or financiers or whatever jobs they are doing.
Not all atheists are scientists, just as not all atheists are doctors or accountants or farmers. GOD-****-IT, you're one hell of frustrating person. :banghead3
Must every atheists must believe in evolution? IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE SAYING?
BL@@DY UNBELIEVABLE!
