PK: $6 worth of evidence? There is so much evidence that a lifetime of study wouldn't get you halfway through it. And that evidence isn't going to come knocking on your door just because you havn't seen it, which I imgaine explains it's absence from your life.
When you see evolution in action, it's so powerful it's scary. It defies your mind and beggars belief - the chances seem far too preposterous, but it's happening in front of your eyes.
You might also be interested to know (as it sounds like you're unaware) that the emergence of a new, reproductively isolated species from an old one by evolutionary processes has been seen both in the wild and in the lab, in several different species.
You might also want to cut down on unnecessary use of antibiotics. While people killed by new strains of bacteria might not constitute $6, you could do it anyway to be culturally sensitive to those of us who don't use our common sense :-)
