in general, evolution by means of natural selection is a slow process and do not take place within a single generation.  When observing artificial-selection taking place for several generations since it is purpose-based selection, natural selection is much much slower, because the selection that occurs do not follow a certain purpose, thus giving the illusion of a design.
