BrentD Evolutionary theory has simply redefined itself over time to avoid its own obvious pitfalls such as missing links and transitional life forms. On one hand your evolutionary box can "seem" to work within the parameters you set for it because you don't address the missing links or transitional life forms.
At some point in time we start with something i.e. primordial soup/matter that is the common ancestor of all things. How does that one common ancestor of inanimate matter move to life forms of species? Where are the transitional life forms?
Have you never been to a museum of natural history? Evolution doesn't need any fossil record to overwhelmingly support its truth, but by happy coincidence the fossil record is virtually replete with transitional forms for thousands of species, including human beings. We are no longer in the 19th Century.
