What are practical ways to live a Holy life pleasing to God while living in a fallen world?

Look around at everything you can see around you. The natural landscape of the earth that's covered with stunning views, towering mountains enormous oceans, sand and snow covered waste landscape, and so much more. All made of over a hundred different elements that combine to form thousands of unique compounds that make up the world around us. Then look up to the sky and think of the quintillions of other planets, stars, solar systems, black holes, galaxys, and more that form our universe. Now think of all the laws and constants that keep it all running. The hundreds of mathematical fumulas that we use to decipher the world around us, such as the the laws of physics and geometry, and the predictable constant of gravity(and many othersbot mentioned and still more to be discovered). And now we come to the most complex thing of all: life. From the smallest bacteria to the largest whale, from the tiniest speck of algae to the tallest tree, our planet is covered with life. From the bottom of the Pacific, to the deserts of Africa, to the frozen shores of the Antarctic, there is no were on earth that we can go to get away from it. The sheer complexity of life still leaves scientists baffled in many areas. And ourselves, the only known form of consciousness and by far the most complex form of life. And yet phisical science has given us no explanation for what causes our consciousness. The only plausible explanation is that our consciousness comes from our souls which are just as much as part of us as our bodies, and undetectable by any physical means. And despite all of our technology, scientists have never come close to replicating there evolutionist view of how life formed from non-life (or how something came from nothing). Nor can they find any proof of it in nature, except for a few* fossils that they claim are species in mid evolution, but could also very well be some poor creature or person that was badly deformed. Now how could everything we just mentioned -mountains, atoms, compounds, planets, stars, the laws of nature, life, conscious, ect.- and much much more, have come from nothing? This idea is simply absurd, or as Isaac Newton said: "Atheism is so senseless". Any one of the things mentioned ought to be enough to convince anyone of a creator. To quote Isaac Newton again, "In the absence of any other proof, the thumb alone would convince me of God's existence.". *if evolution was true, we would have WAY more then a few
