Even if you leave out the origins of life there are many other origins that Evolution has no answer.
Why do you *not* accept evolution?

that's why the theory of evolution is not a theory to explain many other origins...

And that's a reason to discount it because?
The Big Bang theory has no idea about loads of things in the creation of the Universe should we say it is a seriously lacking theory and mock it perhaps?
As someone else said people who mock evolution neither understand evolution or what the term theory means to science.
Sciences logarithmic scale of . .. .. .. .. .. .. .. . or fact by me and someone else:
10:Absolute truths, or just things that are true independently
9:Hard physical laws (gravity,c)
8:Soft physical laws (strong force: AKA: Quantum Chromo Dynamics(QCD), fine structure constant)
7:Long time reliable theory (Evolution, Big Bang(BB), general and special relativity,)
6:Not yet falsified theory (most theories excluding those that have been around for a long time)
5:Sound hypotheses (string theory)
4:New unchallenged hypotheses (LQG and RQM)
3:Wild idea (M-theory)
2:Unfounded speculation (Gods existence in scientific terms)
1:Crackpottery (ether theories, cold fusion, anti-gravity, time machines, perpetual motion devices, 9-11 conspiracies etc)
0:Utter and irrefutable lies and things that are always untrue independently
Log10 scale. ie each category is 10 times stronger or weaker than the proceeding one except 0 which is invalid and represents nothing.
Scientists would debate about what things belong exactly where, especially string theorists and the more mainstream physics crowd. M-Theory is a hypothesis based on a hypothesis, but its categorisation again is controversial.
EDIT: because I could.
"Lucy" is Bigfoot if you use your imagination. Of course they haven't found the foot bones yet but anyone with a huge imagination can clearly see "Lucy" must have had huge feet.
It really doesn't explain much of anything except small changes here and there.

Small change + small change + small change + ... = ?
For your next trick, are you going to argue that you can't stack together enough atoms to make a brick without divine intervention, or that only God can add together enough ones to get to a million without using bigger numbers?
"Lucy" is Bigfoot if you use your imagination. Of course they haven't found the foot bones yet but anyone with a huge imagination can clearly see "Lucy" must have had huge feet.
Of course if you don't use your imagination, it's pretty obvious that "Lucy" and the countless other old wierd skeletons found are less developed (ie less evolved) humans.
In Darwin's day a living cell was thought to be as simple as a brick but times have change. Living cell now are seen more like a city.
Isn't evolution amazing!
There you go. You used your imagination to determine if these skeletons was less developed.
By evolution you mean "god"?

I maintain my point that enough small changes will accumulate into an arbitrarily large change. Making the large change city-scale instead of brick-scale is a very poor evasion on your part.
No, if I'd used my imagination they'd be dancing around in pink dresses singing "God save the Queen". I used reasoning to determine they are less evolved humans. Others have gone futhur than that and used scientific method to verify that reasoning.
Gee wizz. Evolution must have gone all out for this mighty "God" thing to have evolved!
I like a metaphor that someone (forget who) made in reference to Expelled. Sure, the theory of evolution by natural selection has some missing parts, holes if you will. But a fishnet is made up more of holes than of net, and yet it works just fine - ask any fish.
That's the whole matter that has to be proven. Can all those small changes eventually build those complex novelties?
Again you must prove that creature in the past was less evolved when there is evidence this isn't the case. Creatures were complexes from the beginning.
Is "Mother Nature" really our creator like you suggested?
Evo-designers? lol. That's a good one.

Changes can add together into larger changes without necessarily replacing one another and staying changes of the same magnitude after combination. There, proved.
Can all these teeny tiny "atom" things be put together to make a person? Can a mountain climber make his way up a mile-high mountain with steps of less than a metre?
Yes.
