The rate of evolution for large, land and marine species is very slow, too slow for humanity to observe directly. However, we are very lucky in that a number of small species have evolved. Bacteria and small insects are perfect for evolution to be observed. One can perform experiemnts on bacteria by treating them with chemicals, different enviroments or just letting them reproduce. Because the bacteria reproduce quickly, the changes in their genetic material can be more redily observed. Exposing a sample of bacteria to antibacterial soap, for example, will lead to the death of a large number of them. The next generation, however, would be more resistant to that chemical. When it is treated with the chemical, less may die as a result. If this is repeated long enough, the remaining bacteria would have evolved methods to counteract the anti bacterial soap. Evolution! This effect is observable since many bacteria rproduce in less than 20 minutes allowing tests of multiple generations.
Oh, that is hardly evidence of evolution.
Evolution requires the gain of genetic information to go from molecules-to-man.
A loss of information caused by mutations and natural selection result in an organism's adaptation to an environment.
I wouldn't go passing that alleged proof off to too many creationists with half a mind. =)
