Hugh Ross is what is known as an "old earth creationist". He believes the earth to be billions of years old, but believes man was specifically created by God, rejecting the theory of evolution.
He himself is an astrophysicist, but holds company with many other scientists that support his view.

There is no such thing as a website or any evidence that proves evolution is WRONG.
That is because it is right.
The only group that you can hope for is the Discovery Institute and they were caught lying in court.
Evolution is a fact. Try sitting in class and learning as opposed to making a stance and trying to maintain ignorance.
If there were such a site, I bet they also have a solution where you can make $45,000 per day sitting at your own computer for 2 hours a week.

You cannot prove a negative.
For example, the lack of intermediate fossils from the evolutionary process is not evidence that evolution is wrong, it only casts doubt on the evolutionary theory. The theory predicts the existence of these fossils and these fossils do not exist.
Suppose I had a theory that it is impossible for something that is heavier than air to fly. Unless you prove the positive, that something heavier than air can fly, the theory stands.
Even if I prove the existence of God to your teacher that does not prove that Evolution did not take place. It only proves God exists.
You can present a theory to an open minded person. Your teacher is closed minded.

There is no website in existance that can do such a thing.
If you're not willing to learn what your teacher has to teach, why go to school?
If you're hell-bent on thinking you already know everything, why go?
If you need to do RESEARCH, because you don't already KNOW what makes creationism plausable...Well...You are a sad person and have my condolences. That you believe in something, you have no proof or evidence of. PS- Proving evolution wrong, doesn't prove creation right. It just proves evolution wrong.
I guarentee, if you pull some 'info' off a website claiming to have proof against evolution, and present it to your teacher, he will debunk every bit of it and make a fool out of you.

You do realize you are going about this all wrong, dont you??
Youre starting with a conclusion (that Creationism is real) and then trying to find evidence that will fit it.
Evolution has been the opposite - when you follow the evidence, it leads to evolution.
Listen to your teacher, dude.

There is no way to prove it is wrong just like there is no way to prove God exists. The only difference is believing in God (or a higher power) takes faith. Evolution is only a theory, in reality your science teacher can NOT prove evolution. The only thing they can prove is genetic changes within a species, but this is not evolution nor proof of it.
Ask your teacher to show you irrefutable proof that evolution exists and God (or a higher power) does not. Neither can be proved or disproved. But sometimes it is fun to watch people squirm.
The only thing your teacher can show is circumstantial evidence.

Unfortunately for you, all of the websites that 'prove' evolution 'wrong' rely on the person reading it to already not believe in evolution.
Preaching to the choir as it were.
Even a non-scientist can shoot so many holes in the pathetic arguments made by creationists, young earth creationists, and 'intelligent design' proponents that they end up looking like swiss cheese.
Keep in mind, you are trying to prove that a magical man in the sky made everything the way it is, and nothing evolved.
Taking that stance against anyone with a modicum of intelligence is going to always have the outcome of you looking like a moron. Regardless of how many websites, and creationist propaganda you try to bring to the table.
Better to just have your beliefs, (question those beliefs), and try to learn what you can about reality.

You cant disprove evolution no more than i can disprove gods existence, but at least there are fossil records to go with my theory and not just some old fairytale that people decide to blindly follow. It it a well respected and documented theory that is logical and will be proved to be true without a doubt....

Well... you won't find any PROVING that it is wrong... you will find many CLAIMING it is wrong... but their arguments are not valid... they are pseudo-scientific hogwash intended to deceive their scientifically ignorant constituency... that would be people like you.
Gods were invented by man, in a desperate attempt to explain what was once unexplainable... things like the sun, moon, and stars... day and night... thunder and lightening... sickness and death... etc... and to answer questions that were once unanswerable... vital, profound, important questions like "Daddy... what holds the sky up?" The answer for ALL of these things was some form of "God did it."
For all of these questions, the delusion "God did it" (the ILLUSION of knowledge) has been replaced by REAL knowledge... and as a result, this 'god' has been reduced from an all-powerful supernatural being to a 'God of the Gaps'... an imaginary cockroach-like creature that scurries from crack-to-crevice, looking for the remaining patches of darkness and shadow in mankind's '"knowledge-base", so as to cower and hide from the glaring light of knowledge and understanding.
Evolution is a part of that REAL knowledge. Creationism is a part of the mythology that religion still clings to. Why? Because it is good BUSINESS.
The fact that people continue to cling to this pitiable, delusional 'god' idea is a pathetic disgrace, to say the least... and I am inclined to add 'tragic' to that, as well... a testament to the enduring power of gullibility, irrationality, willful ignorance, self-delusion, intellectual dishonesty, hypocrisy and drooling stupidity.
Yet today, we find stalwart defenders of these insane delusions fighting a desperate battle to stave off knowledge and understanding, trying to shield the dark cracks and crevices of ignorance from the light of reason... crying "No... no... that ain't so... God did it... God did it."
You would be much better of listening to your science teacher. Who knows?... you might actually learn something.
TIPS:
* Do not go to religious sources for information about science or history... they LIE.
* Do not go to scientific sources for information on religion... they're too busy for such nonsense, and generally... they don't care.

Can't be done. There are probably many websites that claim to be able to prove evolution wrong but there are web sites claiming all sorts of crazy things. Whatever you find on here your science teacher will just laugh at.
