2) Demonstrate in the lab evolution at work. Speed up the process so we can see a single cell to becoming varied species.

3) Create life in the lab. If one is able to create life in the lab, I would be willing to bank that they probably know a little something about the origin of life. So far, we can't create life. We can only take life and add genes or chemicals to life, or kill it.
Question 1:

1. Ardipithecus Ramidus
2. Australopithecus Anamensis
3. Australopithecus Afarensis
4. Australopithecus Africanus
5. Australopithecus Garhi
6. Paranthropus Robustus
7. Paranthropus Boisei
8. Homo Habilis
9. Homo Erectus

Enough for you?

And no, there aren't tons of them. Fossilisation is an extremely rare process

Question 2:

Evolution has been observed outside of the lab many, many times. I't called micro-evolution. A classic example of this is the case of the peppered moth.

Question 3:

Abiogenesis or the origin of life has nothing to do with macro evolution. We will never know for sure the details of what the atmosphere or conditions on Earth were like over four billion years ago.
