How about this scenario. The radiocarbon clock that is used to measure the age of fossils, was proved to be incorrect. And all the ages of their oldes human bones were only several thousands of years old.
this would put a huge dent in the ToE. It would mean that either life evolved very quickly and not slowly over millions of years, or it didnt evolve at all but rather was created.
In 1969 a conference on radiocarbon chronology and other related methods of dating was held in Uppsala, Sweden where they discused the many 'real' flaws that might invalidate dates.
The most serious fault in radiocarbon-dating theory is in the assumption that the level of carbon 14 in the atmosphere has always been the same as it is now. That level depends, in the first instance, on the rate at which it is produced by cosmic rays. They know that cosmic rays vary greatly in intensity at times, being largely affected by changes in the earth’s magnetic field. Magnetic storms on the sun can increase the cosmic rays a thousandfold for a few hours. The earth’s magnetic field has been both stronger and weaker in past millenniums. And further to that, scientists have been exploding off nuclear bombs all over the world which has caused the worldwide level of carbon 14 to increase substantially.
Perhaps your story can revolve around a huge coverup of the findings of that 'real life' convention and how some insider decided to spill the beans and let the whole world know that the dating methods were all wrong becasue the actual level of carbon 14 was something completely different to what it actually was. This results in thousands of test laboritories working furiously to redate everything and the results are that their human bones are in the range of 6,000 years old.
If you can prove that a fossil is not millions of years old but closer to thousands of years, then you just might have a believable story on your hands.

But I am here to solicit help in getting exactly what you mention...a discovery that basically renders ToE useless, but still explains the "apparent" success of it.
the funniest part of your question is that they've already discovered what rendered ToE useless!
DNA & genetics
Animals reproduce according to their DNA. The DNA molecule is thought to play the major part in the transmission of hereditary characteristics from parent to offspring. Thats why humans always have 10 fingers and 2 arms and 2 legs etc. If the ToE was true, then why should the DNA reproduce exactly after its parent...it shouldnt be bound by coded replication because the ToE says that one species can become another species after some time.
Yet DNA says otherwise.
And then there is Noahs Ark.... I would be interested to know what evolutionsist would think if the ark was found.
