You could check out talkorigins.org
The main point is that macro and micro evolution are exactly the same thing, just over different timescales. The theists who don't want evolution to be true invent barriers stopping one family of animals eventually evolving into another. There are no such barriers. The more you learn about evolution, the more obvious this will become. I've never heard anyone who actually understands it deny that it is true. Evolution isn't like a monopoly board where you move in discrete jumps, it's about tiny changes adding up over many generations.
But that's for you to decide, go read everything you can about it and let us know if you have specific questions. My advice is be wary of apologist websites because they either don't understand evolution or pretend not to so they can strawman it. By all means check them out, but be sure to look at actual scientific information as well.
