musket, you said, I think , that you" see evidence of evolution all over the place....."
snail seemed to applaud that [with some proviso].
I would say that ,no, you don't, Darwinian or not, but natural selection may be observed. this is not the same thing as the claim that one kind of animal gave rise to another, or that stu,steves wonderful complex pond scum eventually produced people.
that is what I mean by equivocation. I say it again, as it has not , so far as I know, been demonstrated that one type of animal can be a subject of selection beyond the info encoded in its dna.
a dog kind for example is a dog whether dingo, dacshound,or Doberman.
mind you, dawkins did say something about evolution being observed but that no one was around to observe it!

seems I need to remind some of you ,too, that creation was believed long before USA politics . tea parties in England are quite apolitical!
