::So too with the atheist. He will say that when you undestand why you reject all the other Gods, then you will know why he rejects your God

By the same logic I will reject his explanation on the basic philosophical questions, how and why are we here. The evolution theory, used as an answer to a creationist, can be rejected on the same premises, lack of proof.
In fact, not just lack of proof but also because of lack of any credibility.

Just to illustrate my point, the "punctuated equilibrium" theory shows that evolution has made major leaps from the simpler to the more complex when something have disrupted the steady state. A large comet hitting earth destroyed the most of the environment and all of the dinosaurs and therefore gave the opportunity for a higher level of complexity to evolve as mammals and humans. If multiple environment catastrophes in the past worked as an engine for evolution should we not then fire of all of our nuclear bombs?

I just can't accept this kind of logic. To give a credible explanation we must deal with the transformation from the simple to the most complex. And also to explain why the evidence shows one direction of the change, from the very simple to the most complex. Any kind of random induced ought to be seen as severe "noice" in the archeological pattern. The pure chance is therefore also a very poor explanation.
