I don't see that evolution being true means there is no God. Why would it? It just means that the creation myths aren't literally true stories, but why does it matter? Do they need to be true stories for God to exist?
Claro, That all depends on how a theist defines their particular god. For those with a literalist definition of their god, then yes, the stories must be true. If not it demonstrates their god is counter indicated by facts, and foundation of their faith falls.
For those who look at the Bible as a series of parables, it matters not if the stories are literally true, so long as it relates some truth about human nature.
As an example, lets take the story of Jonah. It's not really about someone getting swallowed by a whale.
It's a story about the futility of running from one's responsibilities.
For the literalist, it matters that a whale cannot swallow a person. For the moralist, what matters is Jonah tried to run across the sea, but he couldn't escape his responsibility. The whale was just a plot device to take him back.
