What if I'm skeptical that evolution is a completely accurate theory?

That depends. Are you asserting that evolution is completely false? Or are you asserting that there are holes, errors and mistakes that need to be filled and corrected?

If you claim is the former then you are wrong. There are mountains of data supporting evolution. The entire field of Biology would not exist without it. In fact, I just had a speaker at my Michigan Skeptics group from the Beacon Center for Evolution In Action. His paper last month in the Journal Nature not only documented evolution actually happening but detailed the steps in which it does.

If it's the latter then you would be correct. There will probably always be errors or holes in the theory that need to be updated with new findings. That's how science works. As we learn something new, we add it to the knowledge we already have. Fine tuning our theories and and making the whole greater.
