For me the best evidence for evolution is the fossils, if there was no evolution then every animal that ever existed must have done so all at the same time.
Very recently a new species of virus has evolved from SIV which is HIV, and its supposed to be evolving even more now.
I think pretty much everyone worldwide agrees its the best natural theory we have availiable, even religious people will admit their alternative theory is supernatural, and i dont know of any other scientists who oppose the theory who have come up with a better one of their own.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

Nearly everything at the Natural history Museum in London is very convincing. Seeing it with your own eyes is always going to be more convincing than reading what others have seen. They have 70 million specimens there. If that doesn't convince you, you're probably a bit brainwashed.

YouTube creationist, geocentrist and Conservapedia centrefold NephilimFree has made reams of videos on the impossibility of evolution and the geologic evidence etc based on little more than simply looking at photographs. He's been advised countless times to go out into the daylight and actually see this stuff for himself.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

I always thought the existence of christians is enough proof that whatever brought life to its present stage must be an aimless, blind process of ill chance.

I think it is just about possible to argue against the neo-darwinian model of evolution based on natural selection operating on random mutations that work to create change on the phenotype or macro evolutionary scale of mult-cellular organisms. I don't think it's particularly easy to argue against it but I don't think that aspect of evolutionary theory is quite 100% concrete fact. Neither is abiogenesis even if there are some very good hypotheses on how that could have come about. Natural selection and an old Earth aged 4 billion years are hard facts that can't be argued against by anyone with a shread of some sanity.
