Proof of Christ's Existence
The first I'm going to say is that this article isn't dissing any religions or beliefs.
To the point-Christianity has physical proof of existence. Our universe is made of complex building blocks, so complex it's virtually impossible for it to just pop out of nowhere or happen by chance. Cells are made of organelles, which are made up of even more materials so tiny some are beyond microscopic. Cells are living factories that make up orangisms- us, for examples. The organelles keep cells functioning, and therefore keep our bodies intact. All mechanisms that perform jobs have a creator. Who is our Creator, but Jesus Christ? Some people, such as atheists, believe that we were descended from apes and monkeys. Have there been any recent occurences within the last five hundred or more years of more people transforming from chimps and gorillas? Just because they are somewhat intelligent animals doesn't mean we are, too. They can't talk or think anything logical, but we can. Logically thinking that Jesus is our Creator, a reference in the Bible, Genesis 1:26, says, 'Then God said, "Let us make man in Our own image, in our own likeness, so that he may rule of the fish in the sea and the birds in the sky, over the livestock and the wild animals, and over all the creatures that move along the ground."' This shows that we weren't descendants of apes, but replicas of God Himself. Also, this is proved by our situation.
Think about it, our home planet, Earth, was placed at a perfect distance from the sun so that our climate would suit us. And out of all the planets that are known to humanity, none but ours contain life. There are uncountable planets in the universe, and ours is the only one that has the special requirements for our survival. Theoretically speaking, if Jesus is our Creator, He has shown us that not only has he provided scientific evidence of His existence, but also shown that He cares about us humans, His most valued creations.
We can think, we can build, we can perform many things that animals cannot do. This shows that we couldn't have just happened by chance, but have been created. And there could've been only one being so powerful that humans couldn't even imagine what it would be like... Jesus, who created humans and our own home just for us, with so many things waiting to be discovered by us humans.

I would like to address some apparent flaws in your article:
1. "Virtually impossible" is still probable. It's either impossible or it's just improbabe, two different things. Saying that our universe is complex, in a logical argument, does not lead to a god, especially not as specific as the Christian god, Yahweh, of the bible. It just means you don't understand it or how it got here.
2. You jump from "a creator" to "a creator" to "it must be Jesus". You are not going towards proof of Christianity, you are just saying, "there must be a creator because of X, and so the creator I believe is the creator". But there are thousands of possible creators, because there are other religions.
3. Not all atheists believe in evolution, they are independent of each other. Atheism is the lack of belief in a deity. In fact, there are Christians who know evolution is true.
4. Okay, you have clearly not even read the definiton of evolution, let alone read about it in a biology book, because that statement makes no sense. First, evolution is not about random animal metamorphasis, as your bible teachers have probably made it out to sound. It is slow changes in organisms over time. It isn't a spontaneous leap from one thing to another (like water to wine for example). Two, the theory doesn't say we came from monkeys. It is the ancestor OF modern apes (gorillas, orangutans, rhesus) and monkeys. So we are relatives. I recommend you do some background reading.
5. Using the Bible to prove that the bible is true is circular reasoing ie. not proof.
6. The thing about the planets is strange. At first, you get it right, that none of the known planets have what we would describe as life (though they did find very similar materials that form the basis of life here on Earth). But then you say that there are uncountable # of planets in the universe, and that ours is the only one with life. This is a bad assertion, as not only have we not even visited the farthest planets in our own solar system, but we have not begun to search the ones outside it, yet we have seen that there are a vast amount of them. So I don't understand where you get the conclusion that there is no life. As astrophysisist Neil Tyson said "I get the people who ask 'Well have you found life yet?' That's like taking a cup and scooping some water out of the ocean and saying 'Hmm, there's no whales in here, must not be any whales'... You need a bigger sample!"
There are other things I would address but I don't have the space.
