Why is evolution hiding?

[SteelCurtain]

I argue that there has been much evidence. One example is the image on the Guadalupe tilma. It was always believed to be a miraculous image, it lead to the conversion of the Aztecs, and with are scientific technology we can determine if an image was painted or if fibers were dyed and what they have been dyed with.

Scientists do not know of any artwork that has or even could by natural phenomenon be produced in a manner so baffling and mysterious, nor do they understand why a tilma made of cactus fibers isn't decomposing after hundreds of years.

There are thousands of miracles that Scientists and Doctors of no Religious persuasion have given credence to.

I agree SC Religion can be very bad for people so that they do not explore, discover, or keep an open mind.

How is this religious iconography evidence for Creationism? Does the belief in these 'miracles', no matter how they are explained, have any bearing on one's acceptance of evolution? (BTW, infrared imagery of the cloak in question shows clear sketch lines that were very common in 16th Century Spanish art)

A new generation of bacteria grows in as short as 12 minutes or up to 24 hours or more, depending on the type of bacteria and the environment, but typically 20 minutes to a few hours.  There are more bacteria in the world than there are grains of sand on all of the beaches of the world (and many grains of sand are covered with bacteria).

 They exist in just about any environment: hot, cold, dry, wet, high pressure, low pressure, small groups, large colonies, isolated, much food, little food, much oxygen, no oxygen, in toxic chemicals, etc.  there is much variation in bacteria.  There are many mutations (in fact, evolutionists say that smaller organisms have a faster mutation rate than larger ones16).  but they never turn into anything new.  They always remain bacteria.  

Many years of study of countless generations of bacteria and fruit flies all over the world shows that evolution is not happening today.

This isn't to say we don't have a common ancestor but it is a reason I don't have blind faith, in certain theories of Evolution.

Did you read about the Lenski experiment in the link that I provided earlier? This is as clear as evidence gets for the fact that evolution is happening right now. Also, your assumption that evolution 'seeks' to speciate is faulty. There is nothing to say that bacteria has to evolve into something else. If a bacteria is successful in it's environment, then it doesn't have a lot of selection pressure. If a random mutation makes it more successful in the environment, then that mutation will be selected. The fact that there are so many millions of types of bacteria that are very well suited to their environment is further proof of evolution.
