Well, if you're looking to disprove an omnipotent god, evolution does that before you can even discuss the process. An omnipotent god could simply create everything as desired without the need of doing it over the process of millions of years (or, for that matter, six days).
Further, Christianity hinges on "the fall of mankind", which Jesus was required to save us from. Evolution means no Adam and Eve, no tree with forbidden fruit, no fall and consequently, no need for Jesus.
