I'm wondering who taught you that. There's an overwhelming amount of evidence, proof, and reason for evolution. It makes absolute sense, is simple, and easy to comprehend if you're willing to open your mind and disregard what religion has tried to teach you.
There are lots of good explanations out there, so I won't bother trying -- but basically the most difficult thing to understand about evolution is the incredible amount of time it took to get us to where we are today. Once you see that drawn out visually, it makes a lot more sense.
It's not something you can believe or not believe, because it's fact. Instead, you either accept it or don't accept it. Most people accept the existence of gravity because it's so easily demonstrated. Once you give evolution a minute of your time, it's equally easy to accept.
Sure, evolution is fine, except for the most important part which is the very start. Without those basic building blocks then it doesnt work.
that is not part of evolution though. this is like saying gravity is bullshit because it doesn't explain how many licks it takes to get to the center of a tootsie pop.
I am referring to the very start of evolution about how the building blocks came about. Depending on how that question is answered it totally changes what evolution is.
