If it is proven that the universe was created by God in 7 days about 6,000 years ago, and God made a wide variety of species out of nothing in that time, and that Noah saved all of the species of Earth from extinction when God flooded the Earth, that does not disprove the theory of evolution by natural selection. Instead, one of the following would have to be disproved: characteristics of organisms are inherited from their parent(s); these characteristics atleast partially influence an organisms ability to produce offspring; an organism is not a perfect copy or hybrid (depending on whether the reproduction is asexual or sexual) of its parent(s). If the previous assertions are true, what is to prevent God's creations from evolving?
I admit that 6,000 years is not enough time for a significant amount of biological evolution to occur. The amount of evolution required to tremendously increase biodiversity would require something on the order of millions to billions of years.
Disproving the theory of evolution does not prove that life was created by god. Similarly, disproving the theory of electromagnetism does not prove that Thor is responsible for thunder and lightning. In order to provide an accurate explanation one needs evidence.
