So does that mean that if you found Precambrian rabbit fossils then evolution would be disproven?
Yes.

Until we change the assumptions of the theory to accommodate precambrian rabbit fossils because we cannot accept a result that contradicts our foundational assumptions accepting the theory of evolution. So upon discovering precambrian rabbit fossils we modify the theory to explain how even though this previously would have been considered to disprove evolution, now it only serves to further support the theory. Now, rather than the theory of evolution, we have evolution of the theory.

Kindly provide an example of this "evolution of the theory" having been done.

Creationists love to talk about science adapting theories to suit the evidence. They don't seem to realize the nature of science.

No, the assumptions wouldn't be changed. The theory might not be completely discarded but finding something like complex mammal fossils from a time period when mammals did not even exist would require extensive research before a revised theory -- if one could be constructed -- could accomidate the new observations. And such a revised theory would rely upon the observed physical evidence, not "assumptions".

Now, rather than the theory of evolution, we have evolution of the theory.

All theories are subject to revision should contradictory evidence arise. Evolution is no different than any other scientific theory in that regard.
