The mechanism at work can be observed in the Lab over the period of a few years and is understood theoretically. In the long term, you can observe evolution after the fact through the fossil record and genetics.

Yes I agree there is some evidence for sure. I haven’t seen the data on laboratory experiment you speak of. Maybe you could enlighten me.

Evolution occurs frequently, that's why you need a different flu shot every year.

People are atheist because they have come to the conclusion that there is not ample evidence for a God. It is a rather simple answer. There really isn't much to it. People don't really "convert" to atheism.

They are atheists because they are lazy judges, whenever you find too many people found guilty, give'em all the death penalty!

That's kind of an odd assessment. I don't support the death penalty for anyone for anything.
