But thats kind of like me saying we were created without a creator.
I think a better analogy would be a rockslide. When you see a rockslide, you don't question how it started or who started it. What matters is where it is headed and can you get to safety. Evolution is that rockslide. There is no purpose or goal to it, it just goes. If you get hit by a rock from the rockslide, you can't say it was the will of the rockslide to hit you with a rock. Similarly with evolution, organisms survive and fail but you can't say that those organisms success or failure were the result of evolution's will. And the rockslide may have a natural or unnatural (manmade) reason for beginning but either way it doesn't negate the existence of the rocks tumbling down the mountain. Similarly, life may have a natural or supernatural reason for beginning, but how life began doesn't negate the fact that evolution exists.
Evolution is the rockslide. How it started doesn't matter... What matters is that the rockslide is occurring.
