No proof?

Hmmm......

Seems that Darwin postulated genetic diversity within a population. DNA testing shows that there is indeed such a thing.

Darwin postulated that some individuals that exhibited a beneficial trait (being heterozygous for sickle cell anemia infers malaria resistance)would be more likely to pass on their genetics to successive generations. DNA testing of populations where malaria is endemic show this to be true.

That is mostly all there is to evolution through natural selection. The rest is mostly details about speciation, hybridization,genetic drift, founder effect, Hardy-Weinburg equilibrium. You know, really boring stuff. But there are some good "proof"'s for that as well.

Does evolution speak to where DNA came from?

Scientists have recently discovered digital codes in DNA molecules soooooooo complex that man canot figure it out - even them there scientists.
