Evolutionary procesess selectively favor reliable brains.
I already responded to the claim in bold. Also, you cannot say for yourself that you have a super powerful and reliable brain inside your head unless an exterior being says that to you. Nobody can claim he has a good voice unless someone else hears him and confirms it. We can't say for ourselves that our brains are reliable since we have no idea what unreliable brains are like.
First of all evolutionary processes are not a claim, they are a fact. They have been observed both in laboratory settings and in the wild, and they have an overwhelming amount of evidence backing them, from fossil morphology to mitochondrial DNA, with lots in between.
Second what you are saying is not responding to what Rhythm is pointing out, as you are not providing any evidenced position in refutation of what he is saying, you are simply repeating your one unevidenced assertion viz "I have a brain, it works, therefore god!!!!!!1!1!11!!!!1!1!!!!oneoneoneELEVEN". Science doesn't work that way, science deals simply in explanations that can properly explain reality, hence the need for an evidentiary basis.

Obviously not, otherwise he wouldn't believe the words of a probably fictional child rapist.
