So then what evidence would it take for you to accept the evolutionary theory?

That’s not even a question anymore. Darwin’s fanciful creation myth has been thoroughly discredited by science. So much so, that even the evos are abandoning the HMS Beagle in search of a new God-denying evolutionary ship.

Sorry to horn in, but this is a good question and I would like to make a stab at it from my perspective.

Take a species of fish living today, any species, and any number of them you wish. Have them in a controlled lab environment (indoor or out). Map out the fish’s genome and document a series of mutations, in any order you prefer, that would turn the fins into legs. Induce the first mutation of the sequence in one of the fish’s sex cells that codes for fins. Alter the environment in the lab, in any way you want, such the new environment causes the mutated offspring to have such a selective advantage that they thrive while the environmental pressures kill of the other non-mutated progeny. Then repeat for the next mutations that would continue to do away with fins while proceeding along the path to forming functioning legs. Then, after completion, we can come into the lab and see that all the original species of fish are gone but we have instead creatures capable of walking on land. I would be impressed.
