>>Is there any realistic result that could happen that can disprove evolution?<<

No, nothing realistic.

One cannot wave away billions of data points assembled over hundreds of years by thousands of scientists.

I just worry about declaring something ipso facto — it really is an unassailable Scientific Theory, probably the best understood one (as a Theory — the mechanics are still being worked out and will probably be refined forever) in all of science.

I think evolution is ipso facto. It’s a paradigm. It can’t be disproven.

Specific evolutionary theories can be, as this Nature article claims.

If there are no predictions that can be made about the coming comparative genomic information to test the theory, it’s not much of a theory, but a given.

Billions of data points?

No need to resort to hyperbole for effect.
