You cannot possibly compare the sun, which we can clearly see and physically know to exist to immaterial knowledge which is already a vague concept and conviniently for you cannot be physically seen.

The only question here is how does this and the theory of evolution coincide?

Actually, no we can't. We can take reasonable guesses, but there is no way for us to be 100% positive about any of it because animals do not communicate.

At least I hope you are being sarcastic.

Animal suicide refers to any kind of self-destructive behavior displayed by various species of animals, resulting in their death. There are anecdotal
reports of grieving pets displaying
such behaviour after the death of their owner, or monogamous animals refusing to feed after the death of their mate.
Suicidal behavior
It is generally considered that humans
are the only known beings to use
weapons when putting an end to their own life. There are examples of
animals dying in defence of their
family or colony, such as the case of pea aphids increasing their chances of death as a response to parasitism.[1] Many animals that appear to be depressed or grieving begin to exhibit self-destructive behavior that sometimes ends in death.

So now, if we were alive only to not exist again, why aren't we always in the state where we can't remember the present moment like when were babies?
Another question that adds to this one. Why, and how, if we only live and die and never exist afterwards, is a large portion of our memories genetic?

I do not know if I understand your question? Why can we remember the present moment and not when we were babies? Why can't babies walk or talk fluently? Why do babies need diapers? Why can't baby's be CEO of facebook? Is that your question? Babies need to learn about all sorts of things. Some things happen automatic, like remembering the present moment.Another question that adds to this one.

I don't know if this question is easier to explain by following a religion or beïng atheïst. But personally I think the question is easier to answer as being atheïst.
I would like to quote something:
If the Human Brain Were So Simple That We Could Understand It, We Would Be So Simple That We Couldn’t
So you're content in the knowledge that we aren't even capable of understanding our own minds, yet you reject the idea of a creator?
