Also see the fossil record, etc etc.

Now these E Coli can still breed with other E Coli, but over about 50,000 generations it would be as though humans could survive by eating rocks. Also they can go back and analyse the DNA of each successive generation of E Coli in the strain and watch the DNA change over time.

Evolution is a fact not a "theory". Calling it a "theory" in scientific terms means something pretty much totally different from laymans terms. It signifies that science is always open to new and better explanations for the data, but the data is pretty much incontrovertible. The only thing that remains incontrovertible about gravity for example, is how exactly it functions, not whether or not it exists.
