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?

There is nothing I find compelling.
It is as dead as Darwin.

@UnparalleledMonster: The changes in morphology in certain moths in the UK is another good example. Before the advent of pollution controls, natural selection altered the moth population to those that were darker to adapt to areas polluted by coal burning. Since environmental protections have increased, the population has shifted back to the lighter colored moths.

Wasn't that peppered moth biz not true?

@UnparalleledMonster: I don't believe it has been disproven. There are plenty of other examples of natural selection in action.
None. I accept it.

Some believe that the first living organism gradually developed into a variety of living things, including humans, through a process of random mutation and natural selection.

How do we explain the complexity of DNA or of the purpose of red blood cells compared to white blood cells. The purpose of the kidneys and liver? Did a human during evolution figure we needed kidneys and livers?

These things developed over billions of years and millions of generations and are explained by the concept of deep time. Humans didn't evolve until very late in Earth's history.

Creation evolves. I do believe that.

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

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
