The key word is minimum.  And we understand we really don't have to base a "non belief in A"  because somebody else has a Belief in A".  "fact" ... The universe is one giant data processor.

so, a minimum "human reason".  Based on only what we know.  Which is not a lot.  Evolution seems to be a process that passes on information so that an organism can just "live as is" or adapt to conditional changes in its surroundings in order to, lmao, this will sound funny, to pass on information.  The net effect (of the biosphere) is to make a more complex organism that will to be able to better react to the system around it.

then to evaluate the validity of such a claim we can try the commonsense sense check.  What seems more reasonable with the information we have today?  "no-nothing at all" goal or a minimum goal of passing on information?   Huh

As far as I know, no, evolution isn't exactly passing on information to aid adaptability as you mentioned. Natural selection would be closer to that as it is the process which preserves the "information" that has adapted and discards the rest. Evolution is just a series of random changes and it causes both the changes which survive and those that get discarded, so I don't think we can assume it has the "reason" that you mentioned.
