Denying Evolution while benefiting from it's technology is like listening to the radio while denying the existence of the electromagnetic spectrum. Or looking at Hiroshima while denying atoms. Or building an elaborate trap to kill someone by dropping a piano on their head, while denying gravity.
Evolution in regards to survival of the fittest, etc, and the passing on of genetic information may well be proven fact. I believe this is what you are refering to? Bacteria can easily be seen across many generations, developing resistance, what have you, right?

But Evolution in regards to one organism evolving into quite another over time I do not believe has been proven. However long you let those bacterium reproduce I do not think it has been shown that they become anything else than what they are.

It appears to me there are at least three representations of evolution:

#1- Survival of the fittest, change over time within a species

#2- Evolution in regards to one organism having developed from another through a great period of time, via a similar method as item #1 above, except not staying within a species.

#3- Using that method to extrapolate that this is how all life came to be.
