The theory does not need to explain why. It needs to explain how, and prove that it's happening. We know how traits change over time to form new species, and we know that this does in fact happen. There's always more to learn about specifics, but it's almost certainly not changing that evolution is happening, and the mechanisms for that are pretty well understood.
