Another note, many theists believe in evolution, in fact most do. Its not only atheists that believe in evolution

@JimboSaturn I agree with evolution to some degree. It’s just I see where consciousness plays the role in the reason behind the functions of our existence, it’s not random.

@Heavenlywarrior Evolution is a process. Natural Selection is the mechanism driving the process.
In short, Natural Selection is sex and death within an environment that is constantly changing unpredictably.
None of that requires any sort of 'consciousness', we need not conjure up any sort of 'agency'.
If you have reproduction, you need death (c.f. Thomas Malthus).
If you have both, within a changing environment, you need nothing else.
