We find that the species continued to change and die out until we get right here to our present day with all our modern life forms. Evolution happened. Sorry. There is virtually no question. The only uncertainty is the exact mechanism (I.E. which theory of evolution) it occurs. Of course that isn't to say no one has any idea. Our knowledge increases every day. Even if you somehow disproved the current theory of evolution, you haven't disproven that evolution has happened. Basically the only way to do that would be to prove that the corresponding life forms in history for which we find fossils did not exist. You'd have to show that these fossils are fake, or otherwise formed in a way that was not caused by an ancient, dead life form. Or maybe the fossils are real, but occasionally aliens come to Earth and remove its inhabitants and replace them with slightly different ones.
Ok, say you have a fossil that goes from reptile to mammal-like reptile, then you have a fossil going from reptile to primate. The fossil going from reptile to primate is probably flawed, or contains inaccuracies. I'm not trying to debate evolution is false, I'm an evolutionist, not creationist. So don't waste either of our times to try and prove to me evolution is real. I'm saying fossils don't prove that reptiles evolved into birds, or whatever you'd like to choose, they give reasonable evidence that they more than likely did, but it's not 100% evidence.
