There are fast reproducing organisms where evolution has been observed and documented, experimentally. There's only one such example involving yeast. It's an issue of micro-evolution (we already know about micro-evolution is established from human breeding of plants and animals & for that matter, fruit flies) and still up in the air (that is, do we really know a new trait popped up?). There are no experiments establishing that evolution can account for all the things we see in the world. That's natural given the span of time involved. Natural selection as a cause of all we see is based on argumentation. People lie about things like this because evolution is so important to secular folks. We have the fossil record of early species, evolving over time. It is connected, everything fits The fossil record is quite complicated and not some neat outline where everything fits. And there are some big problems, like the Cambrian explosion. I've probably read more books by Dawkins than anyone on this thread. He's an advocate driven by his militant atheistic faith. The stupidest thing I read in one of his books is where he tried to "prove" evolution by writing a computer program which took jumbled letters and over successive runs, turned it into the phrase "Methinks it is like a weasel.' It's actually a great example of intelligent design. He designed the program with a purpose in mind. That was in The Blind Watchmaker.
