I had assumed you could read plain English (you realize that much of the fossil record I mentioned was laid down when there weren't minds to conceive evolution), but somehow you seemed to miss my point yet again. Evolution happened in part before minds arose. Once minds arose we could see and organize the fossil evidence of evolution that has already happened when there were no extant minds. It follows that evolution doesn't require minds to occur -- only to understand.
At this point, I'm convinced you're being disingenuous and probably deliberately obtuse, and so I am ending my participation in this discussion. Enjoy the silence. You've earnt it.
