What evidence of evolution would you need to consider that evolution is a possibility?

They aren't interested in evidence.
You can't reach people immune to reason and logic, laugh at their silly beliefs and move on.

The missing link. An actual record of evolution happening, not the fossil record because you can't put to bones together and say that they must have evolved, no science to back that up. It follow the scientific method. Proof of how the big bang happened, and see it repeated. Proof that one creature can turn into another. Proof that something non-living can eolve into something living.
This one guy said when will my computer evolve, then the biologists said duh an innanimate object can't evolve! This theory goes against evolution and the Big Bang.
Scientfic proof that their is no God, and not by lack of evidence. To actually see it happen. An actual date line, because from what I have found it says science can't accuratley date anything past 5,500 years ago. Proof of how something asexual becomes bisexual. Evidence showing how that in reproduction why it takes 50% woman and 50% man. Proof of how there became male and female. Proof of where the elements came from.
Proof that something can come from nothing. And for those of you that say well gravity isn't proved but you believe it. A wise man once said
"No matter how many times you drop a rock you never know what will happen next, it could fall to the ground or it could float up to the roof."
And that is only half of what I would need to consider it a possibility.

Well....evolution has found millions upon millions of bones from all over the world, but yet to produce ONE single fossil that shows, proves that evolution happens.
Evolution within a species, as in a dog, domestic dog, coyote, wolf, dingo...sure, any rational human can see that.
But evolution from single cell to fish to bird to ape to man. Just can't happen.
If anything, it sounds out there for some, but UFOs are more believable with the Bible than evolution ever will be. The Bible does mention "aliens", it does mention reptile creatures and calls them "frogs". UFO people say there are reptile aliens. The Bible says these creatures will come from the water...UFO people say they come from the water. We have images of "UFOs" on film showing them as glowing balls, glowing orange craft shape size, cigar type, etc. Well the Bible too mentions the same things. The glowing orange type could easily be called the "chariots of fire" and the cigar type is exactly what is described as the "pillar" that led moses through the desert and protected them.
Plus you can read the Bible and see how it says things like how we were planted, seeded, made in the image of. Talks about flying on clouds, going up into the clouds, heavens.
Most read the Bible and put today's thinking into it when they read, its why they think, "this is a fairy tale". But you have to realize these people never saw a single thing we have today, they lived in dirt for the most part. So now imagine having that level of knowledge and then seeing a glowing orange craft in the sky. What would you call it using the words you know....a flaming chariot in the sky.
The imagery in the Bible is what kills it for most, for no images are real but are metaphors for what they saw.

Evidence is not necessary I choose to use an open mind and consider all things. But by things I have seen, put together, and considered I question the existence of God or my creation by him. I am no expert at all on the subject of evolution, nor do I desire to be...if you ask me it takes just as much faith to buy into evolution as it does to accept creation...

An explination of where the stuff that everything supposedly evolved from came from. There is to much complexity and order in the universe for everything to have come about through mere chance. There is really no real proof of cross-species evolution. For me for a single cell organism to evolve into a fish and that into a reptile and than into a bird and so on make absolutely no sense.

They're hung up on the something from nothing argument, no doubt.
Evolution doesn't actually suggest that anything came from nothing. Evolution is the process of change a species goes through. It isn't concerned with the actual formation of life. The theory of Abiogenesis is concerned with that.
Furthermore, there are loads of repeatable experiments that give strong evidence for Abiogenesis.

How about proof that life can be created from nothing without a creator?
How about proof that evolution is still taking place. I am talking about cross-species evolution, not simple mutation or change within a species.
There is absolutely NO proof of cross-species evolution, only theories.
Besides, they never have found the "missing link" either, and never will.

Oh, I totally consider evolution as a possible tool of creation. Just like adobe illustrator is my tool for making logos - no big deal for me to consider both.

"possibility" is the correct word... The Theory of Evolution is just that.... it is a valid tool for further scientific study... but it can never be proven by "scientific" standards... so will alway remain a theory... I am of The True Christian Faith and I could be concidered a "creationist"...however not by the standared many use to define the word.... I accept the use of The Theory... but not as it applies to mankind.

God of Jesus would have to descend ffrom the clouds and personally tell me that evolution is real for me to believe it

I believe God created all, the heavens, the universe, our earth, any other earths that may exist, any other beings that may exist.
And yes, on this earth, and other planets in our universe are evolving and changing constantly.
In God's way and in God's time!
