Well, millions of years is the time frame over which large scale evolutions occur but it takes many millions of tries to get there. As far as I know there are actually new species of animals (especially insects) created almost daily. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. Of course those changes are small and something like a fox wasn't a single lucky random mutation from a beaver but a long chain instead.
Yes, we can wipe species out faster than nature creates them but I wanted to point out that people often forget it's not a static system but has new additions on a regular basis as well.
