I know the difference between gaining immunities from disease and Evolution!
Gaining immunities from disease is, in fact, an excellent example of Evolution.
Heritable change in a population of organisms over time.
That's what Evolution is.
Now, you claim that new species have not been observed to evolve, but that's not true.
http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/speciation.html
"Three species of wildflowers called goatsbeards were introduced to the United States from Europe shortly after the turn of the century. Within a few decades their populations expanded and began to encounter one another in the American West. Whenever mixed populations occurred, the specied interbred (hybridizing) producing sterile hybrid offspring. Suddenly, in the late forties two new species of goatsbeard appeared near Pullman, Washington. Although the new species were similar in appearance to the hybrids, they produced fertile offspring. The evolutionary process had created a separate species that could reproduce but not mate with the goatsbeard plants from which it had evolved."
There's lots more where that one came from.
Now, what were you saying about scientists not having observed speciation?
