-"The single strongest argument... is about the science." Coming from someone who isn't an expert on biology or any field of scientific study in general, this doesn't mean a whole lot. -"...the idea that random mutations and natural selection can explain everything, including us. Everything? What kind intentionally dishonest straw man is that? You should know damn well what the scope of evolution is. Evolution is the study of the diversity of life and the observation of changes in species across life's history. The theory of evolution is the collective body of information that explains this observable fact, from natural selection to genetic heredity. No expert on this matter says evolution explains *everything.* No one is saying evolution explains everything about humanity or biology in general. Evolution explains the diversity of life. That's the scope it works in. And we have learned a great deal about this topic over the centuries, not just by looking at bacteria in the lab, as if that was only thing evolution is based off of (hardly). Dishonest to the core. This is why people leave the church. They discover people like you are deceiving them with respect to how reality actually works and become put off by the whole idea in general.

Sorry, but you became emotional and misheard the point. "Everything" in this context is exactly everything that Darwin claims...speciation, the tree of life, random mutation leading to positive new function. Keep it in context and hear the objection again.
