As a recent "scientific" convert to ID, the most that evolution can possibly explain, by the evidence, is the gradual change of a single species that has been around a very long time.

What it cannot explain is all the creatures the theory projects as required to have existed in the transitions from long gone species to the species we have today. There are fossils for the long gone species and very old fossils for species alive today. There are no fossils for the transitions. In each case, it's as if there used to be X and now there is Y, but Y had to have something else because the precurors for too many of its attributes do not exist in X. Evolution posits that there must be/have been transitionary creatures, yet for the tons of species that should have them, there are no fossils for them.

So, with no transitionary figure by which a long evolutionary slog of cause and affect slowly changed the DNA, how did present species come to acquire their DNA?

Who is it that believes in magic?

You're wrong. There are plenty of transitional forms.

There are examples put forth here.
