Since Evolution is only a problem for Fixism, not Theism, the argument is invalid. However, a valid argument would be that believers' reasons for believing don't follow the criteria of empirical sciences. It's true, they don't. Even so, that does not mean the reasons don't matter, nor that they don't make sense in their own way if you take the Gospels seriously, and there are many valid reasons to take them seriously. As a believer, do I think it's the most logical path to believe in God? Not really, but I still understand why I do, and I don't regret it.
IIN I wonder why atheists are so confident?
