First of all, there are no Evolutionists. Evolution is science, as real Gravity and the Germ Theory.
Secondly, the survival benefit of beauty is simple, it is a mark of "fitness", of how good your set of genes are. We have no need for an invisible sky fairy, why do people persist on living in the middle ages?
