No again. There are fast reproducing organisms where evolution has been observed and documented, experimentally. We have documented genetic changes in slower reproducing living organisms over many generations We have the fossil record of early species, evolving over time. It is connected, everything fits; the "missing link" argument has long been debunked. We can observe and logically map similarities of related life forms, through chemistry and changes in anatomy. Read a modern science book that addresses evolution. If you have the courage, read Dr. Richard Dawkins, he lays it out very simply for scientists and non-scientists. And along with reason, he cites the data that backs it up. Or look at papers and studies from every reputable biological or related scientific body in the world. Read a basic modern Biology text, other than what you might get at Liberty University or the Jehovah Witness bookstore. Somehow I doubt you will read any Dawkins, except for misquotes and out-of-context thoughts, by his enemies. Because it contradicts the "Scriptures" and your version of creationism. You will find a "Christian" Scientist who sells Intelligent Design. It is 99% hopeless but I will probably keep trying. Remember, "thou shalt not lie?" Creationists live a big lie.

You can't test something that takes vast lengths of time to happen. Rosemary and Peter Grant spent over 30 years studying finches on the Galapagos. They observed and documented evolution by natural selection over that period. Through 20 generations of finches, data has been carefully collected concerning the beaks, the food, the offspring, the blood and from this mass of data has emerged the proof that populations evolve in response to their environment; that is, natural selection(NS) is seen, not just in the propositions concerning fossils, but in the time frame of a PhD thesis, evolution happens. amazon.com
