So you're telling me that a few bones can lay around for hundreds or thousands of years and still remain whole? Wind and rain can wear holes in huge rocks, but these bones will just lay there undisturbed?
​
You're missing something. Fossils aren't bones. Fossilization occurs when the bone is replaced by minerals, or the bone leaves an imprint on the rock surrounding it.

I'm sure someone will come along with a more detailed answer but here's mine:
​
How about the rise of antibiotic resistant strains of bacteria? Because bacteria reproduce asexually the only way these strains could have come about was from a random mutation that granted this resistance. The antibiotic comes along and kills all the bacteria that don't have this mutation, the resistant bacteria thrive and pass this mutation down to their offspring/clones. Random Mutation + Natural Selection = Evolution.
