My problem is that I don't know were to look for good unbiased scientific data.
Are you willing to accept data that is published in the scientific literature? If so, the fruit is there for the picking:
Google Scholar
PubMed
Try a site:.edu search on scholar.google. That will bring up college level course notes on evolution.
Or you might try a http://www.books.google.com search for evolution. There are literally 1000s of books available.
Or you might try http://ocw.mit.edu/OcwWeb/web/home/home/index.htm.
MIT has posted videos of all its undergraduate level courses. That's a goldmine!

I've been watching Walter Lewins physics lectures ever since. I watched one of the bio lectures, just what i'm looking for.
Oh no no no no no, fish. Nothing against Walter, but that's amateur hour.
Here's what you need:
The Vega Science Trust - Richard Feynman - Science Videos
Now that's physics.
(Seriously. You must watch all 4 videos.)

Just a word to the wise.
Fish, be advised. John Davison is a class A loony. I don't mean I disagree with his gobbledygook. I mean the man is crazy. Even the creos kicked him off their sties. Google him if you doubt me.
Pierre Grasse died 23 years ago. I wouldn't accept a paper at face value if it was 23 years old. (There are exceptions, of course. Einstein's 1905 paper on Brownian motion, for example.) Much less the opinions of a a "biologist" that said:
No matter how numerous they may be, mutations do not produce any kind of evolution.

I have no idea who "Goldschmidt" and "Broom" are. Pretty tough to google too.
