The religious problem with evolution

RE: The religious problem with evolution
How do you disprove evolution?

With science, what I would consider legit would be something like, showing that natural selection doesn't occur. So either find a population of animals on earth that IS exposed to selection pressures but show no change whatsoever in the genetic makeup (ratios within population) or survival rates, or do it small scale using bacteria, apply selection pressures, and show that the bacteria continue to survive with no change at all. This would be close to disproving natural selection, the mechanism of evolution. But then evolution can still occur by another mechanism.

To disprove evolution is to show that no change in genetic makeup has occurred in any populations. Basically go after all the evolution studies one by one and discrediting all of them with legit reasons. I don't see another way. It's like saying, how do you disprove that Bob is the murderer? Well, you have to disprove all of the incriminating evidence. You're not really disproving a theory at this point, you're trying to "correct" history.

However, if natural selection is disproven, that would pose a serious challenge that I would entertain. Otherwise I have no idea what the creationists are doing in their "labs".
