And there evidence: 

 

 

I was just recently going over this with my mom, who's gone atheist and wants to catch up on things like how marine mammals like manatees, dolphins and whales have remnant of finger bones and such which completely spell out their evolutionary back grounds.

Scientists usually think of natural selection as a slow process, unfolding over generations of incremental change. But, as a study published today in Nature suggests, sometimes this system can take a more rapid approach, especially after a sudden event like a hurricane. As these disasters become more frequent thanks to anthropogenic climate change, understanding how hurricanes affect the species who live in the places they make landfall is vital. This study, which was mainly the result of good timing, offers evidence that, for one family of lizards at least, hurricanes may initiate a rapid natural selection process for certain traits.

Yes, "natural selection" are the key words. The theory of biologic evolution incorporates a huge body of knowledge as well as many related hypothesis. Some of these hypothesis will likely be replaced by better ones as new evidence becomes apparent. But Darwin's underlying theory of evolution via natural selection has an undeniable mountain of evidence supporting it. Other means of evolution are also known today such as changes in epigenetics, but natural selection will likely remain the primary cause in evolution theory.
