During the course of my life I have gone from being Pentacostal, Agnostic, Atheist (just barely but did), then finally settled on the Catholic Church. Contrary to what many Atheists would like to believe it was science that moved me towards the Catholic faith. For me evolution did not come close to demonstrating that there was no need to believe in God. The real proof for the existence of God as far as I am concerned is the existence of self awareness.
Self awareness is a curious thing. Fundamentally it cannot really be proven in another being it can only be proven for oneself and whether or not we are self aware is self evident.
Evolution can explain a great many things, but why should any species be self aware? Self awareness is not necessary. The most successful species from an evolutionary stand point do not seem to have an self awareness (for example bacteria).
