Sure they will, but honestly, there has been overwhelming evidence of evolution to date. If you are still denying it than new evidence isn't going to change anything. Creationists start with a belief based on faith (that God created everything) and then collect and/or deny evidence to support that belief. Scientists do the opposite: we start with evidence and build a theory to account for that evidence. These are two entirely inconsistent world views that will never be resolved by evidence.
