Can Evolution explain this? (Re: The biological evolution of religious belief)

I have a question concerning evolution and God. I was hoping I could start a new thread on this topic. The question is as follows:If the theory of non-theistic biological evolution were true along with the big bang theory then why does humankind have a tendancy to worship some sort of higher power(s)?
Hypothetically speaking in an evolutionary world that contained absoloutely no light then the creatures there would have not developed eyes. Correct? Furthermore, the creatures wouldn't even know the difference between light and dark. They would not even be able to grasp the concept of light and dark because in thier little expieremental world they have no light and dark sensory organs. Correct? Now, in the history of mankind it is fairly safe to say that 98% of every man and woman that has ever lived on earth has believed in somesort of higher power. It is an overwhelming majority. The argument I am making is that if there is no creator(s)as some suggest then why would man even sense or long for a creator. According to evolution as I understand it this couldn't happen since there never was a creator. There seems to be an internal error in the theory of evolution.

When I said 98% I was refering to every man and women who has walked this planet. I do not know of any ancient tribes or even medieval communities that denied the existence of a higher power(s). Counting all those humans who lived before them and the majority of humans that live today I think I would be around the right figure. From what I know major trends in the disbelief of a creator did not begin until around the mid 1850's. Although there may be a small gathering on agnostic philosphers in ancient Greece and the Roman Empire I am un-aware of any large presence of followers.
What percentage would you give it? Please explain.

I know it was a tad off subject. I apoligize.
