I mentioned one scientific disproof above.

Here are some responses (from Index to Creationist Claims, edited by Mark Isaak). I have included a few extra, because I need to get some sleep and won't be able to post much longer tonight.

CB900: Evolution
- (see also CB102: Mutations don't add information.)
- CB901. Macroevolution has never been observed.
  - CB901.1. Range of variation is limited within kinds.
  - CB901.2. No new phyla, classes, or orders have appeared.
  - CB901.3. Darwin's finches show only microevolution.
- CB902. Microevolution is distinct from macroevolution.
  - CB902.1. There are barriers to large change.
  - CB902.2. Small changes do not imply large changes.
- CB904. No entirely new features have evolved.
  - (see also CB101.2: mutations don't produce new features.)
- CB910. No new species have been observed.
  - CB910.1. Fruit fly experiments produce only fruit flies.
  - CB910.2. Peppered moths remained the same species.
- CB920. No new body parts have evolved.
- CB921. New structures would be useless until fully developed.
  - (see also CB300: complex organs can't evolve.)
  - CB921.1. What use is half an eye?
  - CB921.2. What use is half a wing?
- CB922. No two-celled life exists intermediate between one- and multicelled.
- CB925. We do not see creatures in various stages of completion.
- CB926. Preadaptation implies that organs evolved before they were needed.
- CB928. Why are beneficial traits not evolved more often?
  - CB928.1. If intelligence is adaptive, other apes should have evolved it.
  - CB928.2. Humans have stopped evolving.
- CB929. Evolution does not explain our using one tenth of our brain.
- CB930. Some fossil species are still living.
  - CB930.1. The coelacanth, thought extinct for ages, is still living.
  - CB930.2. A plesiosaur was found by a Japanese trawler.
  - CB930.3. Dinosaurs may still be alive in the Congo.
  - CB930.4. A pterodactyl was found alive in Jurassic limestone.
- CB932. Some modern species are apparently degenerate, not higher forms.
- CB940. Pure chance cannot create new structures.
  - CB940.1. Odds of many successive beneficial mutations are minuscule.
- CB941. How do things know how to evolve?
- CB950. Overspecialization with no adaptive value sometimes occurs.
- CB951. Long-term trends (orthogenesis) do not fit evolutionary theory.
- CB952. The evolution of specialized diets would not be adaptive.
- CB990. Proposed evolution scenarios are just-so stories.
