Well it is called a theory.
I'm sure we have some of it wrong and some of it right and maybe we will have the whole story someday. Still looking for those missing links.

So nothing with apples, snakes and ribs?

Agreed.
The more simple an organism, the faster it would show signs of evolution.

No, but I believe there is some design involved in the process.

That would be an appeal to ignorance, but thats none of my business.

Based on the current theory, yes. But the bacterial organisms we have been studying for the last 100+ years have not become entirely new organisms. They still maintain the same biochemical metabolism that allow identification and differentiation.
And I would like to point out that if we ever do observe such differentiation in a laboratory, it gives credence to Intelligent Design because an external guiding force was working on the organism.

Given the millions of years needed for genetic mutations to occur, we're hardly likely to spot something happening inside 100 years, are we ?

I think the most evident proof of evolution would probably be found in the mutations witnessed in bacterial strains as they become increasingly resistant to antibiotics. Wouldn't you call that process evolution? Take TB for instance, it is becoming ever more resistant to antibiotics over time.

Found this via google, Im sure there are other images that could be helpful as well. Someone else can post the actual picture, i am on mobile and its not the best interface.
