There’s also no evidence that horseshoe crabs have individual names and understand the concept of evolution.

We do have evidence that at least one species give their members individual names, and at least a portion of the members understand the concept of evolution

So i would say we have more evidence for this meme being accurate than any god being real

Fair point. Although one may say this is fine here for comic purposes.

The same argument could be made about the statement "Gods perfect creation".
But I'd argue that the suggestion of a creationist god expands the distance to scientific contexts even more while simple speech bubbles are fine due to less ideological conflict potential.

Admittedly, I am also rather allergic to religions, which is why I am having a difficult time with that part of the meme.

Just for a moment pretend God banged so hard he created the Big Bang which create all life, and laugh at religion joke.

Due to the "being allergic" part this is unfortunately not possible for me. But thanks for trying to provide me with a different perspective.
