It actually does happen too slowly. Not so slowly that we can't observe it happening over decades, though.

It took about 2.5 billion years to get from bacteria to multicelled life with natural laboratories running 24/7. Why do you think bacteria not evolving into multicelled life in a petri dish within human memory is significant?

Bacteria are better evolved than anything else to the environmental niche they occupy. Why should they stop being bacteria? And why would you expect them to stop being bacteria on a human timescale?

Sure. Even their individual cells are more complex, because they're eukaryotic.

But they never turn into anything new. They always remain fruit flies. Many years of study of countless generations of bacteria and fruit flies all over the world shows that evolution is not happening today.
Speciation has occurred in fruit flies. But even fruit fly generations are not short enough for them to evolve into a new taxonomic family on a human timescale. You're like someone claiming time doesn't pass because you can't see the hour hand move while claiming the second hand doesn't prove anything because you can't watch it turn into an hour, even after waiting a whole minute.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
