By the lack of answers so far...I would say you will have a long wait for that proof.

Well Bobby short of actually seeing God face to face what proof would be sufficent for you?
You already have the beauty and wonder of nature with all it`s diverse forms of life, you have the wonder of the universe to meditate on and last but not least there is your own uniqueness and complexity of being the highest form of created life on Earth.
When you get thru being amazed at all this you then have the very word of God revealed to us in scripture.

"Proof" is a very strong word. I can give evidence just as scientists can give us their evidence about evolution etc. But short of God showing himself to someone, most non- believers simply won't believe no matter how much evidence is presented.
I will, however, be happy to provide some of that evidence.
First, let's start with the origin of life and evolution:
The concept of evolution is only a theory and will always be only a theory since there's no way to prove that life just happened by some astronomically improbable coincidence in a primordial soup.
If something as complicated as a life form (even single celled life forms are quite complex) can "just happen", why didn't any less complex objects "just happen" as well? The different metals that can be found on earth are the product of natural forces but it took an intelligent mind to produce something as simple as a fork or spoon.
Here's something else to consider. If all life started in the same place (the "primordial soup") as single celled organisms, then evolved into different life forms and those life forms continued to evolve, culminating in intelligent, civilized, free thinking, clothes-wearing, tool-using humans, why are we the only species to evolve this far? Out of the millions of different plants, mammals, reptiles, insects etc., only man has the above qualities. No other species even comes close.
No other plant or animal has ever developed the written word. None have a consciousness enabling them to even realize they exist (I think, therefore I am).
No other life forms have philosophers, doctors, poets, inventors or theologians.
There isn't a single species that can even be remotely compared to man, other than, in some cases, a somewhat similar humanoid body type.
Why have no other animals invented the wheel?
Why aren't there any animals using some type of "designed" tools? (a few have learned to use rocks or other natural items as tools but that's as close as they get)
Why isn’t there any other life forms contemplating the meaning of life?
Why is it that the next most intelligent species are animals like dolphins and whales?
Why are humans so far advanced compared to the rest of the plant and animal kingdom?
And if the theory was true, why are there still apes in the world if the ones that supposedly evolved into human were the only ones "more fit" to survive. There would have been no need for us to evolve since apes seem to be surviving just fine.
For me it's easier to believe in we were created than to believe in something as astronomically improbable as "we just happened".
Now for some other evidence.
The Earth is situated perfectly in the solar system to provide ideal conditions for life. If the earth was a few hundred miles closer to or farther from the Sun, it would be either too hot or too cold for life to exist. Is that another coincidence?
Now, consider the Moon. The Moon is also situated perfectly. If it was a little farther away, the Earth would wobble and weather patterns would be too unstable for life to flourish here. If it was closer, the tides would be so strong, they would destroy coastal areas and again, disturb weather patterns. Also, ever notice how the Moon and Sun appear to be the exact same size when viewed by earth? Allow me to make an analogy: If the Sun was the size of an average house, the earth would be about the size of a quarter and the moon, the size of a nickle. In order for that nickle to appear to be the exact same size as the house, you'd have to postion yourself perfectly.
That's what God did. He positioned the Sun, Earth and Moon exactly where they need to be in order for life to exist here...or are all these things I pointed out just a bunch of coincidences?
These three things are more than enough evidence for me. I find it much easier to believe in a creator than to believe in three different incredible coincidences happening in one place.
Those who believe in the theories proposed by scientists are doing so by faith just as my beliefs are by faith. You can't go back in time and find the "primordial soup" where life originated or watch as apes evolve in to homo sapiens nor can you watch as the Earth, Moon and Sun formed and wound up in where they are. You can only believe what the scientists tell you just as I believe what the Scriptures and my own observations tell me. The scientists do provide some evidence i.e. fossill records. But I have my physical evidence as well i.e. several cities mentioned in the Bible have been proven to be discovered and the letters Pontius Pilot wrote to Emperor Claudius about the crucifiction of Jesus.
I certainly don't expect to "convert" anyone to a belief in God by these examples but hopefully it will get people thinking.

Hebrews 11:1- Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.

Faith is belief without proof, so you're not going to get any "proof".

You have to have faith before you have proof and miracles.
