Ok, tell me how it is a "fact".
Easiest example to understand is that of bacteria. We continiously come up with new antibiotics because they evolve and develop resistance to the old kinds. This is so easily demonstrated that highschool students can do the experiment.

When do we get to something that can bee seen without a microscope? Look, I believe in adaptation and I don't believe the world is only 6000 years old BUT I still have problems with the religious faith the scientific community holds for the subject of evolution. If evolution is a scientific fact that precludes any type of intelligent design then it is past time for the high priests of that view to say it and let the chips fall where they may.

Bacteria are examples of natural selection, not evolution. Antibiotics cull all but a certain already-existing subset of bacteria. That already-existing subsubset then goes on to thrive...but no new modification came into play...it already existed.
