Life obviously evolved to BELIEVE IN GOD..
unless life didn't speciate at all..

Darwin and Dawkins missed that..
Belief in God is a high level evolution of mentality..
Lack of belief in God or not caring is a low level mentality..
Purely logically speaking of course..

Huh? Even the least sophisticated human beings on this planet have (and for a very, very long time) developed and practiced religious observances. Your statement made me recall Austin’s “Pride and Prejudice”, where when asked by Elizabeth (I think) to dance, Mr Darcy responds, “Any savage can dance; most do.” I like Darcy's "logic" better than yours.

Or, said life simply found a way to make the unanswerable and mysterious easier to explain by attributing all mystery to what ever god they may worship. The ability to worship a god doesn’t show an advanced mentality, it’s an example of explaining away anything not understood to a higher power.
