gods and evolution are orthogonal. The creationist argument is that
they are not. Dawkins argues, I'd say demonstrates, that evolution is a
sufficient explanation for the production of complexity.
Given the weakness of creation as an argument for gods to be required, I
assume no stronger argument is available to the proponents of that idea.
Knowing would be another thing - traditionally we treat people who say
they know a god existed because it spoke directly to them with a degree
of circumspection, an all-channels television broadcast, or the
emergence of a .gods top level domain without human intervention would
be among the more convincing demonstrations.
