Come up with an example that can't be rationalized away; one that really does undermine the theory itself.

Ok here is one:

In the middle of a world wide conference in evolutionary genetics, there on the dais next to the Key-note speaker (speaking about a really interesting discovery in the genome of Drosophila ) in a burst of shimmering light God drops a new utterly unique new species into the world.
​
There is no way that evolution could absorb that occurrence, and thus it would be falsified.
​
That would indeed kill the ToE off in one stoke, AND at the same time strengthen Creationism.
​
Thus Evolution CAN be falsified. Although on that particular falsification I find it highly unlikely unless God does, in fact, exist.

And yeah, and since there's over 600 qualified doctors who don't believe in evolutionary theory. Yeah, it's better than the mind numbing indoctrination that's currently happening.

Clicky for The numbers of doctors in the US for 1980 and 1990.
​
As you can see the number of Physicians in 1990 was close to six hundred thousand. This figure does not include doctors of other disciplines, so your “over 600 qualified doctors” doesn’t look quite so intimidating any more.
