Trying to understand evolution

Trying to understand evolution
I was raised in a Christian home. I believed in God untl I was around 15-16 years old. And even than, after I strayed away, deep down I believed God existed. I'm 25 now. I'm just now finally accepting and admitted there is no God. Or I should say don't believe there is a God. It's ignorant to say there is or isnt a God. Noone truly knows. But I've been through alot the past 10 years. And I tried. I gave it my all. I read the Bible inside and out. I prayed everyday and put my heart in it. The past 2 years I became extremely full of hate and anger because even though I said I didn't believe deep down I did. And even now after no longer believing I still have resentment towards Christianity. I never gave an honest effort into believing anything other than God but I'm that point now where I'm 100% open and willing to the other possibilities, mainly Evolution.

I've watched a couple documentaries but they always start with the evolution of man. They never start at the beginning. And the beginning is where many of my questions come. I guess I don't know enough about the theory of evolution. I can understand the evolution of man but what about our galaxy. I look at the sky and it's hard to imagine it didn't have some intelligent designer. I've said far more than I intended. All I'm looking for is a documentary that explains the beginning, the middle, and the now of evolution.
