When I read an honest question like yours, I expect to see answers like the one from Johnny Zondo. He has no answer, so he criticizes you, your intelligence and your question.
I love the strategy: When you can't answer the question, attack the questioner.

There are many cultures that have no concept of a 'higher being' or 'divine power'. Buddhist cultures would be an example. In a foxhole, any soldier of a Buddhist faith would face his fears alone, with no god - or gods - for guidance. Your question is very narrowly focused on the society you understand while ignoring the thousands of societies that think in an entirely different manner. More directly to your question, what does a foxhole have to do with atheist being afraid of answers about religion? Your question is similar to me asking: Why are Christians afraid of the idea there is no God? Have you ever heard of the saying, 'Always look on the bright side of life,'? It just makes no sense. If your question and answer is any indication of the issue you were trying to raise, my answer is that I am afraid of answers about religion because they make no sense. Nice try though.

The nerve, do you think?
Your question is silly and naive.
You mention a law of causality, as though it is as valid in your mind as the gospel of jesus christ. Since you know so little about science, why do you bother to pretend, as though none of us would recognize your lack of knowledge. And then you have the nerve to claim that lack of nerve is what stops us from responding to your childish post. Stick with your god, where your beliefs are just as valid as those of all of your buddies.

Why are you assuming that there is no catalyst to evolution?
Lose the self righteous attitude and you might get some better answers.

Looks like you did get answers. Since people didn't exactly pop into existence fully formed, I think "evolution through natural selection" is a good answer.

It seems obvious that you need even a little education regarding evolution. When you do I think you'll find that evolution is all about cause and effect.

Lots of possible answers and point of views here, but a belief in god certainly provides no cause.
I'll leave my best answer for now which might be "food chain component".

I suppose the fact that it's not a very interesting question had nothing to do with it.
You could be a little nicer.

It wasn't fear. It was just that the question was incredibly stupid. I wasn't going to say anything, but since you felt the need to point it out, you forced my hand. Your question called people effects.
