Randomness neither proves nor disproves a God. What is important however, is to distinguish between science and metaphysics.

It may not prove that a god does not exist, but Human Evolution certainly seeks to prove that the literal Genesis is false. That's why atheists can't get enough of it. They love it because it's against what they hate, not because it makes sense, has any proof whatsoever, or is even sound science. It's a theory that opposes the Christian's God; therefor, it is acceptable and must be forced on the masses by government.

So what? The laws of physics already disprove that. General relativity, nuclear physics etc. all require a solar system that is significantly older than what Genesis says. Cars with satellite navigation, nuclear power plants etc. are all not compatible with Genesis. In that sense using the internet is more or less admitting that Genesis can't be read litteraly.

It's a theory that opposes the Christian's God; therefor, it is acceptable and must be forced on the masses by government.

It's also what produces a scientifically literate workforce and saves many thousands of lives during flu season (influenza vaccine). You simply can't have it both ways: Modern biotech and a purely literal reading of the bible.

Another reason that it provides a vehicle for teaching the detestable and pernicious Malthus population principle as a fact to unsuspecting public-school students. I am sure that if educators decided to tell you upfront that "from now on we are going to teach the Malthus principle as a fact in all public-school biology classes" there would be an immense public opposition to it. And rightly so. But the truth of the Malthus principle is precisely the thing which natural selection presupposes. And so, your kid comes out of evolution class with Malthusianism firmly implanted in his brain for the rest of his life.
