It does however disprove the biblical version of events.
It would perhaps disprove the idea that the bible is without error… even though evolution can look suspiciously like God molding something from the dust of the earth (imagine high speed video of evolution).

Children, if allowed, will also stop and spend an inordinate amount of time watching turtles fuck.
There are more important things in life than believing in evolution. Perhaps toleration of differing views is one.

You DO know that this is an atheist forum, right?
I am debating people with logic and reason and you spend much more of your energy mocking and insulting me rather than actually answering me. I suspect it is because you cannot.

Evolution does not require your god's permission to do what it does. You have still done nothing more than assert that your god exists.
I believe I have given a plausible reason as to why the Christian God is not incompatible with evolution. That seems quite significant to me.
