Is that possible? Does it make any sense?
Usually blind faith is associated with religion but not always.
Here i am talking about some atheist.
Many atheist believe that by a strange and mysterious combination one born as a human out of nothing due to him-her and other born as plants, worms, insects or animals also out of nothing.
You're sounding a lot like the very-benighted Ray Comfort, who doubts evolution even though he knows nothing about it.
I have said this before many times: Evolution is not accidental. Evolution is a proven fact because paleontologists and other scientists have dug up transitional fossils, and been able to map out family trees of certain species, and determined when different species transitioned to others. The fossils that were buried further down in the dirt and rock were the earliest life forms found. The ones buried further up in the earth were the younger species. Evolution occurs when different individuals mate and have children, who are descended and modified from their parents.
The Holy Bible, on the other hand, says that God created humans, plants, and animals (all species of which looked the same) in six days, when in fact human beings descended from Homo Erectus and Homo Hominids over millions of years. The Holy Bible also claims that God created vegetation and agriculture in a short amount of time, when in fact the Agricultural Revolution (made by humans, not God) went on for thousands of years.
As for evolution of consciousness, morals have been evolving more and more to this day. What you are saying does not really make any sense, because good morals are a social construction in the eye of the beholder
