"The bird flu virus is not evolving.
It's mutating. It's a virus that has been around for a long time and is changing slightly.
There are plenty of examples of mutation in biology which ARE observable.
Evolution is a separate matter. It is a theory."
I don't think you know the first thing about evolution. Evolution occurs through a series of mutations. If a mutation is beneficial to the survival of the species, it is more likely to be passed on and propagate.
And do you know the difference between a hypothesis and a theory? A hypothesis is basically a guess that's waiting to be tested thoroughly. It becomes a theory when it's been tested numerous times and there's wide scientific acceptance of its validity. In this context, "It's just a theory" is layman's talk for "I have no idea what I'm talking about."

Oh I know a little about evolution.
Mutations occur and can be observed. They happen on a cellular level all the time. The tumor in a cancer patient is still human tissue.
Evolution is the creation of new species. This has not been proven
