If the evos would admit to/show the problems with evolution their sites would appear more scientific. Which "problems" do you have in mind?

Which "problems" do you have in mind?
Macroevolution has many issues like how some of the more complex features could have evolved from a single celled creature given an random unguided process. Even the statement of universal common descent as a theory is problematic since there is no way to ever know if it is true or not.
For example, one could even believe that we all descended from a chimp like creature, but when you get past that to evolving from a creature with no eyes,brain, arms, or legs, you just can't get there with gradualism. And yet you need gradualism to support the increasing complexity.
It really depends on how far you take the theory. If you assume we all started out from the same single celled life form, evolution has tons of problems in the evidence department.
And saying something could have happened some way is not evidence in any sense of the word.
There are also the mechanisms. To say the siafu ants from Africa, with their highly complex society and language were the product of random mutation and natural selection will never be known, yet it is stated. In this case, however, I have seen evos like Gould state that this is an area that is not totally resolved.
If evolutionists even stated that because we do not know everything that happened in the past, some parts of the theory will never be known for sure would at least be a start.
