Of course you are wrong.
Oh, I see.
So this comment below mean something else isn't it?
We are the ultimate in human evolution. We are what your species will become. We are the perfect survivors.

How do you know that .......There is no peak of evolution.........
Have you got any evidence to back your statement?
Evolution is not a ladder leading to some ultimate being or consciousness.
Evolution, by DEFINITION, is only concerned with survival and reproductive success. If members of a population do not have these as a priority, they do not pass their genes into the future, where evolution can continue acting on the population they belong to.
The person that made the quote that you quoted, either does not understand evolution, or you are taking it out of context.
Not sure why you make the assumption that every atheist understands evolution...
You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
