"Is that why when I ask for ONE piece of scientifically verifiable evidence that proves that evolution is false, the creationists become VERY quiet, or do their best to misrepresent it to fit their silly notions?"

You've got the cart before the horse, sir. Theories don't have to be proven false, theories by definition are unproven suppositions. Until a theory is proven true, it remains an hypothesis, a guess. The onus is on you to prove your conjecture. Indeed, your very question is a ruse.

Nope. Theories get proven false all the time. What you cannot do is prove a theory true in a strict sense; the best you can do is 1) build a circumstantial case for it via several lines of evidence, and 2) prove all the serious competing theories false.

If evolutionists claim that a 99% similar DNA between chimps and humans is sufficient grounds to conclude we have a common ancestor, then I conclude that evolutionist scientists from now on must get paid by something that is 99% similar to money. This way, as they slowly starve to death while explaining their hypothesis, I can sit back and read my Bible in peace, and send my chimp out to the kitchen for popcorn.
