Although I'm of the same mind as you, Mr J, I don't think Jazzns wants to get the thread bogged down in a discussion of "strong" vs "weak" atheism. As such, I think accepting Rrhain's generic definition is probably good enough for this discussion.

Re: Evolution vs. creation
Why can't god have found the universe?
"Found"? As in "found lying discarded at the edge of the multiverse superhighway"? Wow. I don't think I've ever heard that one. Well done, Rrhain, it's a rare day when I run across a completely novel way of looking at something. Wouldn't that presuppose a whole slew of god-like entities? Maybe the Christian version is the super-entity variant of a homeless derelict wino. Or maybe our universe was stolen in its infancy (say, pre-Planck time), then turned loose by the super-entity version of a malicious child. Wouldn't THAT be mind-boggling...

Re: Drift
Hey Tal,
I'm afraid I'd have to agree with Jazz here. Your post is great, but way off topic for this particular thread. In fact, it might make an excellent opening post on a new thread. Something like "Comparison of Evidence between Evolution and Theism" or words to that effect.
