It isn't as though people of faith are going to just jump ship and become atheists because evolution happens. We should be happy about their acceptance of science and not worry so much about who they give the credit too...

You have to admit, that isn't the worst argument against evolution. It's not like he said evolution can't be true because there are no half-monkey half-humans running around. And at least what he said was true, we can't observe evolution over long periods of time. Then again, we can't observe anything over long periods of time, given that we've only known how to write for 7000 or so years.

Actually, we can look back hundreds of thousands of years to millions of years. The record is anything but complete, but we do have things like fossils and ice cores that extend our perceptions back quite a long way in the history of the earth.

I would argue that we can, have, and will continue to observe evolution over very long periods of time.
