Isn't it just the starting point of "I don't believe in the possibility of a transcendent creator" that then leaves evolution as the most plausible option.
Nope. Even if there is a transcendent creator, the chemistry of DNA makes evolution inevitable.
DNA doesn't replicate perfectly. Every generation is a little different from its predecessors. No mechanism has ever been observed (or even suggested) that would prevent small changes from accumulating into big changes over many generations.
Creator or no creator, evolution has to happen. It's built right into the molecules.
