It is if they all eventually become immune to pesticides. You are selecting for those few fruit flies that have a mutation that allows them to survive a certian pesticide. You have mutation and natural selection, thus you have evolution.

What part of the evolutionary theory says that life came from non-life? It doesn't say that, that's an entirely different theory called abiogenesis. You can't mix the two together and claim they're the same thing, they're not. I dare you to tell a biologist, any biologist, that evolution describes how life began. It'll take him about a nanosecond to tell you that you're wrong. Go on, go to your nearest college or university, find a biologist and tell them that. I double dare you. I triple dare you.
