I just found the following article, which may cheer the theists:

The key sentence:

'Most sensible believers in the book subscribe without demur to
Darwin's theory of evolution while reading Genesis in the light of the
mystery so well articulated by Martin Rees - "Why is there something
rather than nothing?" ',

assuming the assertion "because God created it" provides the answer,
rather than just giving us the same mystery once removed.

I couldn't have expressed it better. Probably I'd've been much worse,
in fact.
