You can't "prove" or "disprove" these kinds of theories. We have
evidence suggesting the idea that organisms adapt, but that's a far
cry from proving the mechanism by which it happens.


You can very easily disprove the majority of creationism - except
possibly the question whetever life was created or evolved from inorganics -
by simply asking the proponents to provide any real concrete evidence.
If they consistemtly fail and there is plenty of evidence to the contrary,
then there is in fact no reason to assume it might be true.


That is not a disproof.
