Hey, welcome! I believe we're going to have lots of fun! 
No one believes that one species can magically turn into another without repeatable experiments and blah blah blah.
Evolution is actually deeply rooted in statistics (frequency of alleles in a population) and has been proven with the aid of molecular genetics. Since I don't have much time right now, look up the Hardy/Weinberg theorem. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardy–Weinberg_principle
Basically, all it says is that a species stays largely the same if the 7 underlying assumptions of the theorem are respected. As soon as one of them stops being true, there will be a variation of the allelic frequencies in the population that, over time, might overlap with allelic variations of other genes. Thus, over the course of many, many (n)generations, there will eventually be a point when the variations that have added up are so many and so drastic, that the nth generation is significantly different from the 1st.
Bite me, I'm a biologist. Well, a student of bio(techno)logy. Oh well.
I think your videos are going to be snipped. 30/30 rule
Losty, did you bake those cookies? They look delicious!

"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."
