Proof of God?

It would have to. But how can evolution explain how some men are good and some bad? What about mans curiosity about the universe? This takes a creator to explain this.

No and No. But, more than likely ... no & yes.
There is a randomness about evolution. The top dog doesn't always get his/her genes past on. Human action on it's own kind of shows how evolution can get screwed up by adding intelligence (if we can really call it that) into the mix.
If I were to offer anything it would be that God put the universe in motion and in that supremely complex plan, evolution is just one process within the whole that is affected by all the other processess. We could have just as easily been super intelligent Dino's asking this question than gradually balding monkeys.

To set them in emotion? Oh I agree - only humans need an emotional attachment to understand how we got here. The fact that it was a series of chosen accidents is unsettling to most.
... No. Evolution does not need god. That's the whole idea. You get random mutations (radiation, gene copying errors, etc.) and then good ones get selected on the virtue that those animals can procreate more/more often. No god needed.

No. There is no requirement for an intelligent design to set a series of independent events in motion. Evolution does not require intent or purpose.

Survival of the fittest demands many failures to succeed. Trial and error are not the tools of an intelligent designer. A god creature would be expected to measure twice before cutting once. Evolution, by it's very mechanisms, argues against an intelligent designer.

Its a matter of survival. The species better adapted to their enviroment survive and reproduce, the ones that have disadvantages die. The species get better and better as the ones that adapt to the enviroment survive and have offspring.The ones that have disadvantages for survival die making specieas better and better.
How life got started is a whole different issue. Nobody really knows how the first life forms came to existance. But what kind of Loving God would totally abandon his creations?
Humans are just the most intellegent of animals. We have created a God that revolves around the human species. The bible gave humans instructions to sacrifice animals for God, and that the eating of animals is good. If God created the cow, pig, chicken, etc. to be eating by humans, Why did he gave these animals the functions to feel pain, feel scare and sad.
Surely our God... the human God... feels little sympathy for other living species as they have no protection from our God.

Biological evolution means any genetic change in species over time-it happens so the fact of evolution is not in question. Whatever implications theologians want to draw from that fact is an issue for them not science.

No. Evolution does not have a goal. Just random events and random mutations.

Not really, nature can do some amazing things on its own. And I think you mean 'set them in motion'

No, it requires mutation and natural selection.
