How would a christian disprove evolution and do it with evidence.

Or a chrysanthemum whose parents were a gazelle and a seahorse.
 
I think finding a boat perched on top of a moutain full of velociraptors and unicorns would work as well.
 
Why would a christian want to?
 
Show up to the debate with Kirk Cameron. That should have those Evolutionists shaking in their shoes!
 
If the Bible were proven to be factually correct about the origin of life tomorrow, that still wouldn't disprove evolution, it would only disprove our theories about the origin of species. Evolution is a process of natural selection, and is process that is well documented.

Not if everything were shown to have appeared as is 7,000 year ago....

No - it would only mean that natural selection wasn't responsible for the genesis of life. It would change nothing about the vast evidence indicating that speciation and adaptation is not the result of a pre-existing design.

Natural selection isn't the end all and be all of evolution, there's also mutation and sexual selection, for example. Natural selection is the most prominent mechanism of evolution.

Actually, you don't need the bible to tell you that. Evolution has nothing to do with the origin of life, only with what happened to life after the origin.

Yeay! Exactly. Life could have been placed on this planet by Xenu, and evolution would still take place. Living things evolve, and that's as inevitable as a dropped rock falling.
 
I guess that if he could dig up a skeleton of say a T-Rex with a fully undigested human skeleton in the same rock, that might just do it.
 
Generally, they turn to some pseudoscience book like Refuting Evolution. There, they memorize such things as:
"Similarities between human and ape DNA are often exaggerated. This
figure was not derived from a direct comparison of sequences. Rather
the original paper inferred 97% similarity between human and chimp DNA
from a rather crude technique called DNA hybridization."
***
"Population genetics calculations shows that animals with human -like
generation times of about 20 years could substitute no more than about
1700 mutations in that time."

Of course, these are not correct, but they sound scientific, so creationists use them.

And of course, they always point to the Piltdown Man as an example of scientists being wrong. Also, there have been anomalous radiometric dating results which have long been explained, but to a creationist, a single example is enough.

This is why it is so hard to discuss evolution with a creationist. The reason they are creationists is because they believe that if even one thing is shown to be untrue about the Bible, their whole universe will collapse. They do not seem to grasp the concept of theories in which a single cog, if proved faulty, can be replaced by another better-fitting cog. It is a completely different mind set.
 
If the Bible said that everything that exists are composites that are infinitely divisible, then they'd be scrutinizing atomic theory for flaws instead.

No, ignorant. It's often all that they were taught. Once that's occurred, they're subject to confirmation bias to a great extent.

ETA: Ignore these guys, they're just taking your bait.
