I realize it is not possible to produce such evidence for reasons of timeframe. I am willing to consider a less direct evidence, such as, for example, manipulating the process with accelerated changes in the chemical environment in order to artifically speed up the mutation/selection apparatus. I would also take any complex form of life, not necessarily a homo sapiens, as a result.
Nevertheless, I provided an answer to the question you posed, since your question did not ask: Which discovery that is easy to make would falsify the theistic or Intelligent Design view? -- it simply asked if such discovery were conceivable.

That's a much more nuanced view, and I accept your re-statement (although we could discuss further the meaning of 'complex', I suppose). In fact, I'm pleased to learn that you would accept a successful result of such an experiment as a falsifying event for creationism/intelligent design, for I surmise that in the next few years (or decades, at the outside), we're going to be informed that just such an experiment has been performed successfully.
I'll save this thread, and if we're both alive and FReeping when the news breaks, we can laugh about it via FReepmail.
Best regards...
