Evolution: It's a fact

In the media recently, a guy named Tucker Carlson claimed that evolution is rejected by scientists and that it's "just a theory". There is a thing called evolutionary theory (the math and concepts we use to make sense of biology) and then there's the fact of evolution: That which we can directly observe with our own eyes.

Here I cover two experiments of observed evolution from single celled to multicellular life. Researchers used theory to guide them as they set up their experiments, they then observed and documented the fact of evolution unfolding before their eyes. This is how real science works.
