Evidence of Creation exists, can anyone provide Evidence of Evolution?

Evolution and Creation are both "models", not even theories.
You cannot go back to see the beginning and repeat multiple times under scientific experimentation.
But you can observe and model evolution. Creation has some modeling as well, sedimentation rates, etc. so there's about 100 SCIENTIFIC measurement that "fit" creation model better. About 100 that fit evolution better. So how do you resolve that? Maybe both are true.
I personally am a nuclear scientist, mathematician and amateur astronomer, and a Christian. I don't see a problem with that. Many scientists are believers.
What belongs to religion is religion.
What belongs to science is science.

Oh ok, it exists. You mind to tell me where to find it? Can I see it? Or do I require psycho active substances?
As for evolution, go to fossilworks.org
You can search fossils by date, genus or many other criteria.
There are more than a million taxonomic occurences in the database. And more than 150 000 collections of fossils.
If you spend some time creating your searches or searching the data base and actually do an effort in understanding for yourself regardless of anything anyone told you about creation or even evolution and decide for yourself what is more plausible, you might come up with theory that some fossils are sorta decendents from others somehow. You can then go to tolewb.org/tree and compare your observations with the current tree of life or use as a guideline for searches in the fossileworks. Not to mention you can bread fruit flies and get some species that you did not have in the beginning. You could even breed pigeons, cats etc

To understand evolution does not involve any great depth of intellect.
It can be seen operating on some insects, birds and bacteria (for example) within a human time frame. The big stuff takes a lot longer.
It's existence is shown by our genetic make-up.
Creation, on the other hand, is lacking in any evidence ...unless you have got some you are willing to share.

The first problem with your question is that you do not tell us to which creation myth you refer.
Not one of the world's hundreds of creation myths is true. They are all myths. Not one of them has a single shred of evidence to support it.
It is interesting that you claim there is evidence for a creation myth but you do not provide any. One wonders why you do not.
There is an extremely large corpus of evidence for evolution. Unlike the alleged evidence for religious myths, scientific evidence is in the public domain. If you were generally interested in the evidence for evolution, I suspect you are not, there is evidence to be readily found on the Internet and many good books. Do not concern yourself that you may not understand it. A lot of it was written for the lay person.

1. Evidence of existence exists. This is not the same thing as evidence of creation.
2. Even assuming existence equals creation, there's no evidence any particular being did the creating.
3. The geological record has millions of examples of primitive and extinct life forms, all found in older strata.
4. In the short term, microbes (such as the virus that causes AIDS) evolve over the course of several years.

OK, what is your evidence? Plus, the Creation Hypothesis is useless. On the other hand, Evolution Theory is one of the most useful and far reaching in all science. Matthew Chapter 7, Verse 16 applies.
There are over 150 years of data and observation in ALL the sciences supporting evolution. The Creationists have NEVER offered one single observation or offer any argument that makes evolution false. The real issue when Creationists say, "Prove evolution" is where to start in that 150 + years of data. Evolution is a "good theory." it explains how biology works exceedingly well. Nothing else fits that 150+ years of data as well. Plus, every researcher in any biology based field learned their biology with evolution as the supporting science that makes everything else they learned make sense and fit into a coherent picture of how biology works.
What has been Creation Sciences contribution to the human race? Are any Creation Scientists working on a general cure for cancer, an Ebola Vaccine, any thing like that? (Answer: No, not one single one.)
I would ask Creationists, Could you give me a list of Creation Science researchers that work at any of the National Institute of Health Cancer Research Centers?
Some "evolutionist" scientific achievements since 1955 -
1955: Salk Polio Vaccine
1961: Sabin oral Polio Vaccine
1961 Crick, Brenner et al discover that three nucleotide bases are needed to code for amino acids, confirming a suggestion by nuclear physicist George Gamow.
1963 Effective measles vaccine.
About 1964 Har Gobind Khorana and others work out the genetic code.
1969 Arber and Meselson confirm that restriction enzymes cleave DNA.
1969 Rubella vaccine.
1971 Measles, mumps, rubella combination vaccine.
1972 Berg produces the first artificial recombinant DNA molecules.
1973 Boyer and Cohen make the first transgenic organism.
1978 Riggs and Itakura make the first genetically engineered insulin.
1978 Fred. Sanger et al publish the dideoxy chain termination analysis of DNA.
1980 Frank Fenner oversees the eradication of smallpox.
1980 Robert Gallo et al identify the first human retrovirus.
1983 Recombinant insulin placed on market.
1988 Kary Mullis et al publish the polymerase chain reaction.
1988 Richard Lenski begins long term Escherichia coli experiment.
2000 Craig Venter et al publish a rough draft of human genome.
2005 Rough draft of chimpanzee genome published.
2006 Final draft of first human genome project completed.
2007 Horse genome completed.
2007 Anti-herpes vaccine.
2012 Richard Lenski's long term experiment continues, having demonstrated evolution of citrate metabolism in E. coli.
Thousands of patents in various forms of biotechnology outlining useful or potentially useful inventions.
I invite Creationists to prepare a matching list of achievement for the Creation Hypothesis.
The Creationists talk a good game, but are short on real accevement..

You just have to open your MIND and be able to read. Scientists have been collecting evidence for evolution for hundreds of years.

Read Charles Darwin's discovery's on evolution and natural selection.
But if you want to see it in action. hang around a million years to see it happen.

darwin theory of evolution look it up for more detail but i short it basically states that when the earths tectonic plates divided certain species of animals where separated from there own kind. therefore they had to adapt to there new surroundings in order to survive whether it be a desert or whatever.
