Question: Is the existence of God evident?
Yes, the existence of God is quite prevently in the world around us. (1) The evidence of God's existence can be seen in:
Intelligent life- the human mind
Conscience- the knowledge of good and evil
Free will- the ability to choose God or not clear evidence of His character
Laws- everything that governs life, order, harmony, and beauty
Justice- for those who commit crimes, or wrongfully accused of crimes.
These are just a few areas that shows substancial evidence of God in our lives and world. Evolution teaches that all life began from a single cell organism which later evolved into the complex forms of life that are presently seen. I find it hard to believe that my ancestors came from a tree to an ape and then became human. Though there are some physical similarities between apes and humans, there differences overshadow them. (2) Let's look at a few examples, the chromosome count for a man is 46, while for an chimpanze and gorilla are 48. As infants, humans are more helpless and dependent that monkey or ape infants. The last example I will use is, only man can be educated; animals must be trained. Evolution is a theory of prgression but, these examples show a degression; which makes the theory not plausible.
Another proof of God's existence, which has to be one of the greatest, is our ability to receive and give love. We were created from love. In order to possess this ability it to be put in us. The proof of God's existence is evident everytime we look in the mirror.

Interesting. You say that justice "for those who commit crimes, or wrongfully accused of crimes" is proof of the existence of God. I am not denying that God exists, but I think that this is a bad argument for the existence of God. What about people who break the law and do not get caught? Or people who are wrongfully accused and actually do go to jail? Many cases like the latter exist. Some have been lucky enough to be exonerated through advancements in DNA testing, while others are still in prison and will remain there for crimes they did not commit. I do not think that "justice" is a good argument for the existence of God.
