Actually it can happen pretty quickly (in geological time scales). With
evolution you can experiment (look up the colour morphs of Biston
betularia).
Creation happened 6000 years ago. Evolution has been active for 3.8
billion years. So how old do you believe life on earth is?

You can not observe gravity or air but you can experiment and observe
the results. What experiments can you do with god and creation? As PD
pointed out elsewhere, if a truely omniscient and omnipresent god
existed then it would be impossible for humans to predict the effect of
their activities. We might as well do nothing about global warming and
just wait for GWBush's friend to drop the air temperature by 5 degrees.
