You are of course confusing evolution and The Theory Of Evolution. Evolution itself is as apparent as gravity. To state otherwise is to claim that offspring are not variable, or not based around the parameters of their parents. Of course they are, it's easily observable, and natural selection finishes the picture. It's TTOE which can be challenged and improved.
Nothing can prove God until a testable, falsifiable hypothesis/definition has been put forward. And it hasn't.
Welcome to the jungle of logic baby
Of course. God was disproved millennia before people discovered natural selection by guys like Epicurus who famously said: "Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then He is not omnipotent. Is He able, but not willing? Then He is malevolent. Is He both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is He neither able nor willing? Then why call Him God?"
But stupid god-loving community like Christians who gave up on rationality instead of debating him simply put him in Hell and in Dante’s Divine Comedy: The Inferno one can find Epicurus and his followers in the Sixth Circle, known as the Circle of Heretics, trapped and tortured in flaming tombs.
The reality is you don't debate religion you enforce it.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
