Regardless of the overwhelming evidence to prove evolution to be a real process, I started wondering, "Would proving evolution to be fact, actually have any affect at all on Christians?" (and especially, young-earth Christians). 

It should.  In the case of YECs, it should serve to demonstrate they are 100% wrong.  In the case of those who think they can have some evolution with their jesus:  Where exactly on the evolutionary timeline did sin and the need for salvation arise?  With Homo sapiens?  Homo erectus?  The Australopithecines?  The tree shrews?  

Are Neanderthals saved by jesus?  What if we evolve into a new species? 

In the end, the only way to keep faith-based beliefs alongside scientific theory is to ignore their incompatibility.
