I think people have real difficulty with the idea that these things happen over time, over huge numbers of generations. They aren't happening to individuals, an individual is not getting parts of its body "selected out" and then evolving into something else. It's just a matter of who survives and who breeds a lot. That's the selection process, in a nutshell. Those more suited to their environment will live longer and produce more offspring, so any tiny changes they possess will become more frequent in the next generation.

It's not one cell on Monday and a lion on Friday.
