Atheism Masquerading As Science By Dinesh D'Souza
The problem with evolution is not that it is unscientific but that it is routinely taught in textbooks and in the classroom in an atheist way. Textbooks frequently go beyond the scientific evidence to make metaphysical claims about how evolution renders the idea of a Creator superfluous. Here are some examples that are drawn from my recent bestseller What’s So Great About Christianity.
Harvard biologist E.O. Wilson writes in his widely-assigned book On Human Nature: "If humankind evolved by Darwinian natural selection, genetic chance and environmental necessity, not God, made the species."

Well, given the fact that evolution involves species naturally evolving, it does make the idea of God designing species superflicious.
Your approach is like claiming that gravity theory is atheistic- sure gravity makes the planets move in their orbits- but couldn't it be god just the same? Well, no, not really. Evolution is an alternative to chance or design. It is either evolution, design, chance or another possible way. Despite what some Christians would like to believe, God "Guiding" evolution is sort of impossible- evolution, by definition is an unguided process.
It isn't sciences fault that its conclusions are atheistic- it is religions fault for believing science would favor it in the first place. Sorry. And for the record, atheism isn't science- atheism merely claims support from science (See? There are natural explanations.)
From the time that man first figured out that the sun is not a chariot being driven across the sky by Helios, science has been in the business of replacing supernatural explanations with natural explanations. It is very difficult to hide that.

Of course in that case the truth is more bizarre- the Earth is spinning like a top which is why we have day and night. It doesn't sound weird until you REALLY think about it.
On second thought maybe you shouldn't do that if you have a fear of infintite voids or vertigo...
