A muslim brother

Hello, I'm 17 years old and from Australia. I didn't know who to talk to about this so I decided to make a thread in this forum.
For months now I've been having a lot of doubts. I've read about all the miracles and such of the Quran etc and when I do this i do feel some comfort but it's always temporary. I have this sort of paranoia almost all the time and keep thinking I'm in the wrong religion and such. Even whenever i try to fight these feelings i feel as if I'm only doing this because i was born into this religion and am afraid to give it up. I don't know if these are from Shaytan or myself anymore. I try to pray but I never feel any sort of spiritual connection. I don't even feel like a Muslim.
How can we constantly put faith in something we have never seen yet we critisize people doing the same thing but simply putting faith in something else? Aren't we doing the exact same thing as the apparent christians, jews etc? Why do people of every religion claim to be sure they are right when clearly only one of them is. They are supposed to feel the exact same "blessing" or good feeling we are apparently suppose to feel by praying, getting nearness to Allah etc.
I've also done some scientific reading and such. I've read a good deal about evolution and honestly there are actually a lot of flaws in it. But again there are many things which shouldn't be like that if the theory is wrong. For example why is human and monkey genome are so similar if man and ape didn't come from a common ancestor?
Everywhere i go i find more and more questions. I really don't know what to do.
