I'm another evo who has waded through the mountains of Creationist material and has remained an evo.
Maybe you could present the evidence we haven't seen. That sounds interesting!

To be perfectly honest, I don't need to look at ALL the evidence that exists - that is nowhere near to being possible - for the average Joe, that is. Moreover, I'm not going to lie and say I completely understand the finer points of genetics, cell mutation, abiogenesis, or evolutionary theory. Fact is, I don't need to.
I know enough about the history of the Earth, as seen in the geologic record, to believe without one single doubt that this Earth is at least 4 billion years old (making room for possible future errors). I know enough about the origin of *man* and paleontology to know that evolution makes logical sense AND fits the geologic record. I also know enough about many other sciences to know that they all agree on the fact that the Earth is billions of years old and the universe even older. To me, that is enough to make evolution a fact, as well as an old Earth.
As for you and I seeing the "same evidence"... no, I don't think so. If your evidence is based on what Creationist sites have to say and not on reality, then, with all due respect, I believe you are the one who has come to the wrong conclusions.
You want evidence? One piece of evidence that convinces me? I don't have it. My evidence consists of the entire geologic record and all that it divulges and infers.
Evolutionary theory, paleontology, anthropology,... all that is simply icing on the cake.
