At least with a belief in God comes some sort of moral foundation to govern human behavior, with evolution not so much. Do we want to live in world that is governed by the rules of survival of the fittest? Or a world in which has rules and governs morality? The rules to what is moral and what is not are a whole different debate. Personally I would much rather live in a world where most of us are motivated in some way to be honest and treat each each other with dignity that a world if which it's every man for himself.
