What I'm trying to say is evolution does NOT claim there is no God. In fact you could believe in creationism and evolution at the same time, as weird as it sounds, they are compatible, because evolution does not attempt to explain how life began. Evolution deals solely with life here on earth and how it changes. Theists will often mix up evolution with big bang theory and abiogenesis (the true counterpart to creationism).

I see...I personally label all that as evolution. Just like I label all religions as creationism

Well, evolution per se does not disagree with religion. Yet the specific theory concerning apes evolving into men does come into contradiction with religion. According to the Bible and Qur'an, God created Adam and soon after he descended to Earth where he reproduced his kind. Adam could not have descended in human form and yet at the same time have been an ape who later evolved into a more 'advanced' form.

True, Christianity specifically and evolution contradict each other but you can still believe in some form of religion and evolution at the same time.
