Quote | You said you would readily accept any evidence for common descent. I don't think you are sincere. What kind of proof would convince you? | Jeannot asks an important question, in fact the important question, here.
The only evidence that I can imagine persuading AFD is AnswersInGenesis publicly admitting that they're wrong, and that the case is, in fact, every bit as solid as the scientists say. And that's not going to happen.
Think about it. AiG has a far-fetched answer for everything, and it was like pulling teeth to get AFD to see the lameness of even the lamest B.S. Even then, it doesn't seem to have put much of a dent in his confidence in them. So we move on to the next AiG bogosity, then the next, and the next... until AiG runs out of money. (I was going to say, runs out of arguments, but as we all know, they just start recycling at that point.)
I think it's a valid question, and AFD should probably address it before he wastes a lot more time with his claims to open-mindedness:
Apparently the fossil evidence, DNA sequence analysis, chromosome structure, and a coherent theory are not enough. What kind of proof would convince you?
