start with the second law of therodynamics...
law of biogenesis.  life is created by life.  not some chemicals.
laws of probability.
 
read any of the articles at www.drdino.com <http://www.drdino.com>
subscribe to their monthly scientific magazine where numerous articles are
written by scientists with PhD's.
 
rate of change of salt in ocean.  being washed off the earth constantly.
points to 4/5,000 year age.
rate of change of the earth's magnetic field.
 
over 100 cultures/civilizations of the world with a verbal/written 'flood'
history.  Anything past that is impossible to prove due to it's effects on
the earth.
 
layers of "millions' of year stone, with a fossilized tree trunk thru 3
layers.
 
read any of the following articles at www.creationism.org/griggs
<http://www.creationism.org/griggs> .  Just reading these are enough to make
my point.  Lesson 3 points out the number of holes in evolution from the
point of view of the laws of science.  lesson 12 points to several things
for a young earth, not an old one.  so does lesson 13.

Points made by others:
 
yes, it is impossible to totally prove a theory, but entirely possible to
disprove one.
 
i promised not to use Bible arguments to disprove evolution.  scientific
observations/reasoning are enough.  however, what you choose to believe is
outside that realm.  I choose to belive in a creator and the bible.  either
you believe God created universe out of nothing, or it just evolved out of
nothing.
 
an eye supposedly has evolved 4/5 times.  why did it evolve the same way
each time ?  talk about a probability jackpot.  If an eye's 'screen' were on
the front or outside like a TV, how would the image get sent to the brain ?
is it more protected on the outside/front of eye or the back inside of the
eye protected by bone ?  Having suffered a detached retina, or 'screen', i
would venture to say it's more fixable the way it is designed also.
 
i officiate HS sports.  basketball in Indiana.  so for over 30 years i have
been 'attacked' verbally to say the least.  Using that in no way adds to the
validity of any argument.  stick to scientific observations/reasoning.

Descarte the noted philosopher stated "it is truth very certain that; when
it is not in our power to determine what is true, we ought to follow what is
most probable"......  everyone makes a choice as to what they think is the
most probable.
