For the Thinking Man.

[Artur Axmann]

Yes, rational thinking can exist without believing in god ,but up to a point.

Rational thinking cannot be totally explained in materialistic terms because it's evolution cannot be explained soley on a purely natural basis.

Yes, it can. I don't know why you think otherwise.

Perception by evolutionary principles ,must evolve from sentient being or beings.

Again, untrue.

Human consciousness must serve the evolutionary process in ways other than the mechanical process of instinct.

Why?

Good and evil come about as a result and thusly form the religion basis to human existence.

"Good" and "evil" are human constructs and are subjective to our definitions. They do not exist objectively outside of our societies.

If you want more information on the evolution of human consciousness, this video is a good start.
