Go to The Ultimate Creation vs. Evolution Resource and look up "Speciation Links." There are plenty of observed instances where one researchers have observed speciation events (the development of whole new species). You'd be surprised at the amount of information that has been acquired over the last few years alone.

I just read through some of these supposedly "authoritative" links...some of them are downright hilarious, especially the list of creationist tactics. As though evolutionists haven't used exactly those same tactics in supporting their views. If you are going to say that those tactics aren't right, then you cannot use them yourself. When you remove that from the discussion, you're left with nothing but personal opinion. You think evolution is possible, probable, and fact. I do not. Eventually one of us will be found to be right, and one of us won't. I have yet to see any compelling evidence, any real proof, that all life began from a single cell in the distant past that came about by random chance, and then evolved into all life as we know it today. This goes beyond whether men came from apes. The contention is that plants and animals had a common ancestor...that I find even more incredulous! It defies logic, it defies reason, and yet you willingly believe it!

I loved the quote in explaining evolution: "At some finite time in the past, life began somehow. (How it began is beyond the scope of the theory, but the observational evidence strongly suggests that only one such beginning on Earth has left descendants to the present day.)" Contrast that with "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth". The difference I see is that the Evolution statement has a certain amount of ambiguity in it, while the Creation statement is very definite. For my money, I'll stick to God's explanation. It's a lot easier to believe, and it doesn't insult me with inferrences that at some point in the distant past, my ancestors were apes, primates, rodents, and ultimately plants and amoebas. If you want to claim a Venus Flytrap, or a Marigold as part of your family tree, be my guest!
