The "problem" is how life got started in the first place. Even a single cell organism is a very complex thing. Scientists do not consider evolution as anything but the best theory so far, it's not completely understood.

Survival of the fitest works in an observable fashion. Life evolving from nothing is harder to understand. Didn't say I don't believe it, it just has a lot of gaps still. That's why it's a theory.

This was thrown out by way of example, that's all and is not truly relevant to this thread.
Ah! I should have read on, before posting the above comment.
Where our great great great great ancesstor came from is a completly different thing to evolution. Evolution happened. we are all decendants from a "proto-cell". A cell capable of replication using the standard DNA-RNA mechanism.
Where this cell came from we do NOT know. We do not have a theory about it. We have a few hypothesis though.
I posted one of them here

Are you saying that you have aproblem with evolution, or you have a problem with how the proto-cell arose in the first place? The two are very different things.

Random mutations caused life to evolve to the level of complexity we have, but with so many similarities at the same time?

These are two incompatible statements.
