It's certainly not exact to caner cell growth/mutation, but a similar concept. The change/changes does/have occur(ed) at some point. My reasoning with the similarity (which again could be wrong, I'm not a scientist) is that we share 98.9% of our DNA from the Bonobos in the Congo, leaving it to be considered our closest relative. There are still Bonobos and humans.
So the theory would explain the question of "...If evolution is true and works the way they say it does, why is there still bacteria just as simple now as it was then!" =For the same reason that there are humans and we still have chimps, apes, bonobos, ect. One mutated/evolved/what-have-you from the other but it's own species continued to live and multiply while that new "strain" also continued on it's own process of growth.
Evolution is not about replacing existing species in their original environments, although that can occur. It is about adapting to new or changing environments.
So as long as the environment that produced the original species continue to exist, the original species is likely to continue to exist. But some members of that original specie may wonder off into a slight different environment, then they may evolve to adopt better to the new environment.
