created a new endosymbiosis between the eukaryotic Amoeba proteus and its infective bacteria in less than 200generations. The bacterium went from an independent, self reproductive organism to being an organelle with regulation of its reproduction tied to the amoebas reproductive cycle.

Instead of going into the details of why this is a bad argument, this shows an even more obvious problem. It illustrates the intellectual dishonesty of creationist when they try to use science.
They claim that something that happens over an entire planet over billions of years is not possible. That there is not enough time for natural processes to work over that much time.
Then, they expect us to swallow the tale of how one inbred family populated the entire earth (twice since their god had a redo) in just a few thousand years. The mutation rate necessary for this situation to produce the genetic diversity that we see from peoples all over the earth means that humans would have mutated themselves to extinction.
On the one hand, they argue that mutation rates are not high enough, and then on the other, they ignore the fact that their favored mutation rate is too high.
You said "But science itself says it takes hundreds of thousands of years to evolve slightly."
No, evolution is a change in the relative frequency of alleles in the gene pool. New alleles arise from the mutation rate. In every member of every generation there is a constant influx of potential alleles. This allows for a constant blind exploration for yet another suitable open niche.
Then once a population is established in another niche they do not begin again they have a genome to build further specializations on. This is endlessly ratcheting species into novel and interesting ways to exploit the habitat and each other.
Lenski showed that a a bacteria can adapt to a different nutrient substrate in much less than 50,000 generations or 20 years..
Microbiologist Kwang Jeon, using artificial selection, created a new endosymbiosis between the eukaryotic Amoeba proteus and its infective bacteria in less than 200 generations. The bacterium went from an independent, self reproductive organism to being an organelle with regulation of its reproduction tied to the amoeba's reproductive cycle. This was the clever metabolic trick that gave rise to multicellular life and it took only months to replicate in the lab.
