1. Religion isn't answering where God came from either.
2. Of course not, becaause that's not the point of evolution. There are other theories of how life came to be. Sadly, I'm not very well versed on them, someone else (@socool @PatientLeech one of you, maybe?) can maybe give you your answers.
3. We aren't the only species on earth with intelligence, lol. Though we are most likely the smartest one.
Religion is different, because there is no basis for it.
For example, we can actually observe evolution on a small scale.
I guess it's pretty obvious that I've explained why it's a theory. But if you just ignored what i said, then it's your problem.
1. Religion's purpose isn't for you to understand God. Just like you claim Evolution doesn't explain why it life came to be.
2. Science hasn't been able to explain why life came to be. No scientist ever has come with a clue of how it happened. That's why there is Religion and that's why Humanity hasn't become God.
3. Self awareness to make it more specific. You can't compare a Dolphin's intelligence to ours.
I understand what you mean. But you'd have to refute every single thing written in the bible to say it isn't evidence.
For instance, did you knew that the 10 plagues of Egypt actually occur?
1. Then what is the problem with the Big Bang theory?
2. Indeed not, though we have various theses why life came to be.
3. Various animals are self-aware, though.
The bible isn't scientific evidence, lol. And no, that some things in the bible are true doesn't makes it evidence.
1. Like I said - you just say that God needs to be the cause, but fail to answer me where God came from. The cause of the big bang? I don't know. To assume that you know it is silly.
2. We don't kniw how to create life, yeah. How does that point to the existance of god?
3. Dolphins, magpies, chimpanzees, elephants - as far as I am aware. We are the only species on earth with this level of intelligence because we are the only species that evolved to the point of this intelligence.
There is no existence for a god, and none against a god.
Religion isn't scientific, anyway.

Adress my point. You critiziced the Big Bang theory because we don't know why the Big Bang happened, but you don't critizice the Thesis that God created everything, even though you have no explanation where god came from?
2. If a "superior intelligence" like us dont know how life was formed then what makes you think it doesnt require a high level intellect to figure it out?
3. Ohh but that goes against the Theory of Evolution! If we put inteligence into numbers, a dolphin has 10 an elephant 9 and a chimp 8. A human has 100.
Why were we the only ones to develop such a level of intelligence?
It goes against evolution.
Why dont we see only one specie with wings? Why dont we see only one specie with horns? Why dont we see only one specie with fur?
Evolution has never seen a "unique" species.
The fact that we are unique proofs that we are not "natural".
2. WTF? What do you mean with "superior intelligence"? The creation of life probably happened natural. Maybe we will know one day how to create life. Maybe not.
3. No, it does not. There are unique species - in fact, every species is unique.
Anyway, millions of years ago there was only one species with wings. And then it evolved into a bunch of other species with wings. That's what evolution is.
[SPOILER - highlight to read]: not really entirely true, but would require off topic debate on mathematics and philosophy, so meh....
And?
That does not undermine my observation. Theory of a supreme being is delivered by Western Philosophy in numerous instances. The fact that you overlook that out of convenience is flabbergasting.
