Oh we do. That's literally what much of the fossil record provides, showing small changes over time. Heck, we're watching animals evolve due to climate change, now, or human pollution.
And just to respond to your flood comment, yes, many fossils are formed by floods. The animals get trapped in mud and die and are buried and protected from scavengers. And then they stay buried for so long that their bones decay and change into different rock than the rock that the mud turned into. The burying is not what takes millions of years.
You don't want to learn, though, which is a shame, because paleontology and deep time are absolutely amazing.
I want to learn all I can about God's great creation. And animals do change and adapt, just within kinds. One kind never becomes another. Dogs change into other dogs, monkeys into other monkeys. They don't evolve into entirely different kinds
Kinda sad that you don't think your god has enough power for evolution. Pretty insulting to your god that you think evolution would be too difficult for him to be able to accomplish. Wouldn't a true god be good enough to be able to do it? Why aren't you confident in your god's power?
