I think one of the biggest mistakes people make is that they are under the impression that Natural Selection, as Darwin articulated (he did not invent it) is only one mode of evolution. There are many other modes, and new discoveries are made all the time.

Saying that evolution is not observable or proven is false. There are numerous examples of the evolutionary process working that we can observe, such as; how selective breeding has altered many domesticated animals into new breeds. It's not hard to see how natural conditions can also lead to selective breeding, and therefore selective allele distribution.

Not all of evolution it explainable at this point, but a great deal of it is.
