Why don't you accept the theory of evolution?

It seems often to be the case that there is simply a lack of understanding.
What specific issues do you have with evolution theory?

🙇🏽‍♀️what causes animals specifically to evolved? How do the bones change?

Selective environmental pressure for adaptive mutations. Even significant morphological change over one generation.

@UnparalleledMonster: If Darwinian theory were true, “we should be able to find some cases of speciation in the fossil record, with one line of descent dividing into two or more. And we should be able to find new species forming in the wild.” Furthermore, “we should be able to find examples of species that link together major groups suspected to have common ancestry, like birds with reptiles and fish with amphibians.” Finally, there are facts that “make sense only in light of the theory of evolution” but do not make sense in the light of creation or design. These include “patterns of species distribution on the earth’s surface, peculiarities of how organisms develop from embryos, and the existence of vestigial features that are of no apparent use. It is also known the embryos of animals as drawn in educational science textbooks are falsely drawn.

I don't disagree with anything you just said but i don't understand what point you're trying to make

@UnparalleledMonster: how one specie evolved to another, there is no proof. Also, it's just a theory so I would put 100% neither 50% of my faith or belief in the theory. Also, why is it fir every human ancestor we found one body of bones and no where around the area did we find the same specie.

Well there's a lot of proof for speciation. Directly observable proof.
But i think you were referring to higher taxonomic levels in which case there is also ample evidence found in the fossil record.

I'm not sure what you're asking here

Sorry i missed that.
Do you understand the difference between a Scientific Theory and theory as it is used commonly?

@UnparalleledMonster: I will be honest, I don't understand evolution completely. I don't know the facts 100%. I will say, it is questionable. I don't care if there are scientific facts, observations and experimentations, the theory of evolution is questionable.

Still, why can't no one explain, before homo sapiens, our ancestors the bones discovered, only one body was found for each. They kept searching and could barely find anything yet dinosaurs both big and small, several of their bones were found for each specie

@LeahLovee:

Well thanks for being honest. That's what i'm doing here, trying to fill out some blanks in people's understanding of the theory.

Keep asking questions and i will do my best to answer.

Well as far as only having one fossil of each homo species i don't think that's accurate but i don't know for sure without looking it up.

The reason we find few fossils is that fossilization is a very rare phenomenon.
The reason we find far fewer hominid fossils than dinosaurs is twofold:

1) hominids only evolved in africa while dinosaurs span every continent.

2) modern humans have existed for around 200 thousand years with our earliest ape-like ancestors arising around 6 million years ago.
Dinosaurs were around for over 200 MILLION years.
Basically there was SO much more time for dinosaurs to leave remains than for our hominid ancestors
