If your great grandma mother didn’t become you….so why do you believe you descended from your great grand mother?

I don't. I employ it for profit. You don't really need belief when you can do a thing yourself. At any rate, evolution is a fact, not a theory. Populations of animals do change over time, not just in the fossil record - but on humanly observable timescales.
You can force it in just a few months with cladogenesis if you really wanted to. There's a theory that attempts to explain that fact, but I'm guessing you don't much care. So, there's a +1 for the work of you establishing that you're an idiot. I'll have to tell you upfront..unless you can keep this up for something like 400 pages...don't waste your breath. You'll never even glimpse the podium.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Those who self identify as buddhists who emigrate to the US are on average far more highly educated than the average buddhist in countries of their origin.
I have some personal experience with buddhists from south east asia, particularly Malaysia, Nepal and Burma, They seem typically vehemently, or as vehemently as buddhist continences allow, anti evolution.
They confidently rebut evolution with the same things heard on US senatorial campaign circuit: “If monkeys became men, why are there still monkeys”. Well I think that's a valid criticism. Can anyone explain why there are still monkeys? Humans did not come from monkeys, not directly at least.
If I’m descended from my grandparents, why do I still have cousins?

I have yet to see any actual logical reasoning for why someone should believe evolution is true and real.

Ignorance is bliss. Evolution has no more evidence supporting it than religion does. Just for the record, I don't care for science or religion.

Only one physicist is left in the World who is still a geocentrist. Your numbers are dwindling.

Evolution isn’t a matter for belief, it’s a matter of accepting or rejecting a brute fact. Rejecting evolution is as patently silly as rejecting the fact that trees are made of wood.
