You still need a first cause for evolution to work.

There are so many holes in the theory of evolution.

I hate when people say this. It doesn't matter if you believe in God or evolution, something had to always be there. All matter in the entire universe would have to have always been there if you don't believe in God.

If this gives you comfort by offering the possibility that God was the first clause by a means yet unknown to science, then be comforted. There are myriad possibilities and science is young.
By its nature, science refuses to rule out possibilities. It's not your enemy. It's a tool. To take it as an enemy shows a misunderstanding of its nature and its utility.

If it doesn't rule out possibilities, why are you ruling out God?
