With regard to the scientific principle of evolution, you are better off challenging the theory of gravity or Newtonian Laws of motion.
The theory of gravity was just recently changed with the discovery that verified gravity travels in waves. The theory of evolution has withstood peer reviewed challenges for the last 150+ years.
Newtonian Laws of motion are trumped by relativity with regard to satellites and other high speed moving objects in space. In fact, navigation satellites and your GPS are reliant upon Einstein's equations of relativity (time dilation) otherwise GPS would go off course at a rate of 12' per day.
Evolutionary principle has withstood challenge for the last 150+ years and is a cornerstone of biological sciences, which include but are not limited to microbiology, genetics, and modern medicine.
Yet somehow, to many theists, a talking snake and a creation story derived from Sumerian mythology should be held as the "truth".
Willful ignorance is what allows the spirit of religious barbarism to thrive.
