This perception of beauty does not logically lead to the conclusion that God must exist.

"Evolutionarily conditioned to view as beautiful" - that really stands out me. It sounds a lot like what you're saying (and please tell me if I'm wrong) has an element of design, or at least manipulation that caters to our sense of beauty. Do you consider yourself to be an atheist?

And bullshit like this tells you neither know what you're talking about, nor interested in learning. "Element of design" is nowhere evident in what Grandizer said, it is an elementary fact that evolution under certain conditions would dispose a being to aesthetically appreciate tbose conditions, provided they develop a sense of aesthetics. No design involved, just a byproduct of natural selection.
