First of all, that we need "evidence" for evolution. We don't, since evolution is not a thing. There's no evolutionary process, really, either. Evolution, it seems to me, is a description of the statistical relationships between organisms, the environment, and time.
We only call it a "process" because it is a relationship about what we see at different times. At no point does anything "do" evolution, not even DNA, nor a species. At no place in space can evolution be seen to exist.
To say there's no evolution is fucktarded-- that is to say there is no relationship between the environment, organisms, and time. In other words, hot places "just happen" to have people with darker colored skin. Deserts "just happen" to have animals which can tolerate extreme temperatures and minimal moisture.
We evolve, animals evolve, and also the good bacteria evolves within our bodies. I don't think I am exaggerating when I say this. Imagine if we had been created by God (please, just imagine, even for me it is hard to imagine, but just for one moment) and we do not evolve. What do you think our chances would be of surviving with regards to these viruses and harmful bacteria? I think slim to none. It is a bit like rats or bed bugs or even rabbits. Many decades ago, the best pesticides were able to kill off rats or bed bugs easily, and the myxomatosis virus was introduced into Australia to control the rabbit population. Of course, at the start the numbers will diminish, but it will always take one or two who managed to survive it, and then they will have a litter of rabbits who will also have this genetic mutation. Who, in time will pass on the genetic mutation and so on and so forth. Up to the point where it will still kill a few, but a majority will always survive and increase their immunity. This is something that creationists will not admit to, that animals, humans and every living thing on this planet evolves through successive generations.
