 There are several prominent scientists and mathematicians that have come to faith from what they call overwhelming evidence in their field that both punch holes in the theory of evolutuon and point toward a creator.

C.S. Lewis is probably the most historic intellectual to do so and he wrote several books on the topic.

For comtemporary examples, I'd suggest these:

The founder of the Human Genome Project, Francis Collins, saw that as he dug deeper and deeper into the foundations of life that it only got more complicated and showed clear evidence of a designer. This lead him to conversion.

Steven Meyer is a Mathematician. He runs through the probablilities involved with evolution creating anything useful without decaying.

James Tour is a Chemist that has explored the extreme necessities of environment and resources to create foundational proteins needed for life, which cannot be created in cutting-edge laboratories, today.

They all have several youtube videos discussing their cases at length.

Frank Turek is a popular, modern Christian apologist that lectures and debates at universities. There are tons of videos of him, as well.

This is not a cut and dry, simple issue. If you think it is, you haven't given it the due diligence and intellectual honesty it deserves.
