Well, of course everything is here for evolutionary reasons, but it doesn't mean that they don't require belief to function. I am diputing your claim that credulity, or credulousness as you had it, is a bug. It's not a bug it's a feature.

As an aside - we don't even directly experience the universe at all. Our senses are instruments which take readings of light, sound, temperature etc, and our brain takes these readings and constructs a hallucination based on the data, which we believe to be the real thing. Nobody knows what colour 'red' really is.
