Is it true that only atheists accept the theory of evolution?
No. Many theists, including Christians, believe that evolution occurred. Belief in some sort of god and belief in evolution are not mutually exclusive. Some even believe evolution was guided by some divine entity such as God.
Is it correct to say that most atheists are evolutionists?
The term, "Evolutionist" is slightly incorrect and misleading. The usage is almost exclusively coined by Creationists to imply that Evolution isn't a verifiable science, but a religion. It would be more correct to say that most Atheists subscribe to the theory of evolution, as the most probable proccess of how we all became who we are today.
Are all evolutionists atheists?
Religion is often seen as antithetical to science; but just because one does not believe in the existence of a God has no bearing on whether or not they subscribe to a scientific theory: the Creation vs. Evolution conflict is non existent for them because they don't believe in God. If they want an explanation for how life came to be, it's probable that they would believe in evolution and other rational concepts. No. There have been atheists around for as long as history, and they pre-date the theory of evolution. There were Roman atheists and Greek atheists. Bhudda was an atheist (or at least agnostic) and he certainly would have never heard of the theory. That said: evolution is the only theory which most matches all the evidence. Anyone who understands how theories work must, when examining the different theories, conclude that evolution is most likely to be true. There simply isn't any evidence to support Creationism (otherwise known as "Intelligent Design"), and there are no competing scientific theories which match the evidence as well as evolution does. Many educated Christians also believe in the theory of evolution, for the same reason. Note: this does not mean that evolution is true. It could yet be shown to be wrong (though that is highly unlikely). It just means that it is the only explanation which fits all the known facts, and consistently makes predictions which come true. Should evidence be found which disproves it, then most atheists will abandon it the same way any disproven theory should be abandoned by objective people.
What is the atheism theory?
Atheism has no theory. We simply disbelieve in any gods or other supernatural beings.
How do atheists believe the world was made?
There is no set atheist belief for how the world was created. Atheism is just a lack of belief in any deity. Thus an atheist will not believe that a deity was involved in the formation of the earth. Atheists would in all likelihood all subscribe to one of the many scientific theories about the origins of the universe and the resulting origin of the earth. That means, they (we) would take a naturalistic view on its origins: The Big Bang Theory, "M" Theory, and so forth. Atheism is not a religion.There is no unifying belief, only a unifying lack of belief. So atheists do not all actually 'believe in' anything. Atheists do not share beliefs or morals nor is there a code of belief for atheism. Therefore, while some atheists may believe Earth was formed from the sun as science dictates, and some can believe aliens made Earth, 'atheists' in general have no general "beliefs'. Atheists generally rely on science to explain the natural world. They do not create myths to explain things that cannot be explained yet.
Do you believe that this evidence gives support to the theory of evolution?
I do not so much " believe it " as I an convinced by the myriad lines of converging evidences that support the theory of evolution by natural selection. talkorigins.org
Will someone explain to me exactly what evolution is and why atheists believe it?
Evolution is a theory put forth by a man called Charles Darwin. He postulated that animals evolve over time, and that when animals gain favorable mutations, it increases their chances of survival and therefore mating. When they mate they pass on their mutations to their young and spread the change throughout the species. Atheists, who don't believe in a god(s), find that this is the most likely way that animals came to be on earth.See related links.
Do Christians not believe in the theory of evolution?

What issue was at the center of scopes trial?
whether a state can ban the teaching of evolution in public schools
How does observed evolutionary change support the scientific theory of evolution?
The theory predicts that evolution will happen and in certain ways. The observed evolution makes this prediction correct. It also defines evolution as happening, and as such is perfect evidence in support of it.
What did Lamarck believe about evolution and why is his theory not considered correct by modern science?
Lamarck believed in the theory of inheritance of acquired characteristics, which suggests that organisms can pass on traits acquired during their lifetime to their offspring. However, modern science has rejected this theory because it does not align with the principles of genetics and natural selection, which are the driving forces of evolution.
Who is the creator who created the world?
Well, I believe that God created the earth, but another theory that I don't believe is the big bang theory and evolution.
