It amazes me how people still think that evolution has to manifest in profound changes when asking people to "prove" it. That's not how evolution works, or has ever been proposed to work. Fish never spontaneously gave birth to dogs. There were no mammoths that suddenly developed thumbs. You're only advertising your own ignorance by doing that.
Think of the 1000 monkeys at 1000 typewriters for 1000 years analogy. It's possible that they might mash out the entire works of Shakespeare in that time, but highly improbable. So improbable that you can say that it most likely will never happen.
It is quite likely that they'll get a sentence or two, though. Evolution works in sentences over time, not in paragraphs, and certainly not in entire plays.
