you aren't following the logic; after all, it's your logic. if God doesn't exist, the God concept originated from evolution processes (couldn't come from theist since they are also the product); therefore unequivocally, evolutionary theory started it. now for some that evolution has advanced to a new plateau while others stay with the old evolution (the religious). if the new evolutionist are correct, evolution hasn't served 90% with the truth. so what would make the enlightened 10% think that same evolutionary processes now has got it right?
Because you're a moron who doesn't understand evolution. That's why.
Evolution, for one, doesn't have anything to do with truth, at all; truth is merely something we can determine due to our sophisticated brains, which developed to fill an ecological niche. So, your basic premise is wrong to begin with, but also, I'd add that the "evolution of religion," so to speak, doesn't necessarily have to be a single evolutionary step, or even a direct product of one; it's my view that religion is an unintended side effect of naturally selected properties that serve different purposes. It wasn't like there was a single mutation and then bam, christianity.
That's the thing: our brains are just patchwork, they don't work perfectly well. That's why we do well to notice and correct for the natural fallacies that we might fall for, such as the argument from ignorance that you practically embody. How about actually learning some of this stuff before you see fit to comment on it?
