Nothing like that has been found. Instead, multiple, seperate fields of science all support evolution in different ways. If you really have any interest in understanding why evolution is a fact, watch the Foundational Falsehoods of Creationism videos on YouTube, Aron can explain far better than I can.

Evolution consistently makes claims and then unmakes them and in the process feels proud of itself that its "Fact" is now more of a fact. What experimental evidence would disprove evolution? Nothing Therefore evolution is a religious belief. Saying evolution did it is like saying God did it but he is your friend and you are in on the secret. Every time you are wrong you can just say your friend was pulling a trick on you. But the fact that he is pulling tricks on you just proves how close of friends you really are and now you are REALLY in the know with this new theory. @2 Admitting you are wrong is not a virtue relative to not being wrong in the first place.

We don't already feel we know everything worth knowing, and "God did it" is the same as "I don't understand." @1: The scientific point of view adjusts to new and better information as it becomes available, reflecting our ability to reason and learn.
