Iona - all you have to do to silence the doubters is find a fossil in the wrong place. Find the fossil of a horse in Cretaceous deposits; find a bony fish in the Burgess Shale, find a monkey in the Solnhofen limestone, find a rhino amongst the dinosaurs. Find the bones and silence the doubters. Find body fossils that prove you are right.

You'll be the most famous person in the history of science; you will have shown Darwin was wrong by presenting hard evidence. If you're right, these fossils should be everywhere and not too difficult to find. Think of the fame, and the glory you could reflect in, the boost it would bring in bringing the word of God to the ignorant masses. You'd have reason on your side and solid, reproducible evidence (because this must have happened lots of times, right?).

Go for it! The knowledge you need is easy to pick up, no-one lives too far from a fossil locality and it should be simple to review the biota and find the fossils that don't fit.

It's that simple. Really.
