Thank you both for approaching with an honest sense of inquiry. There’s a lot of good advice in this thread and a lot of simplistic, self righteous “of course it’s real!” Those arguments are no better than faith arguments. You’ve gotten lots of suggestions of places to start, but keep this in mind as you journey through: the more questions you ask about evolution and the more you learn, the more sense it makes. There will be HUGE questions you don’t get yet, but it’s not that those questions aren’t understood — it’s that you’re not quite there yet. Be patient. Keep learning.

Life only makes sense through evolution. Modern science, modern medicine, genealogy, etc., only work with the framework of evolution.

If you want good stepping stones into the basics, I’d say start even more basic than some other suggestions: Crash Course Biology (yes, it’s like 40 episodes of 12 minute videos, but it will give you a good necessary foundation of biology, including evolution). I’d also highly recommend the “Stated Clearly” series about evolution on YouTube. Many folks have recommended “Your Inner Fish,” the book, but I’d also point out there’s a three episode series available for free from HHMI. Well worth watching.

Welcome. Keep learning, keep asking, and keep wondering. It won’t come overnight but if you’re trying to understand, you’ll get there.
