You've made the various claims of evolution, now all you have to do is prove it! If you don't you can't blame other people for disagreeing.
First I may take a little issue with the word prove, but this really could be begging the question. Now if the person is just proclaiming that everything is fact, and doesn't give a reason for their claim, you might have some point, but even then I don't think saying it like that is right.
Of course it is. It's classic burden of evidence. Evolution is provable, so bad example?
And many theist are going to say the same. Although I certainly wouldn't use the word prove in either case.
