This is what happens when u skip basic biology classes in ur schools. Before explaining abt evolutionary theory to this kid, i want to share some few insights abt his comments on science !
He is accusing that how can a man sitting in lab doing experiments can conclude things..LoL ! It's funny that he uses an electronic device to express his faulty thoughts was only bcoz of some MAN sitting in the LAB who invented those😂. All the great technologies we use (cont)
All the great medical facilities, scientific inventions, spacecrafts & rockets to explore space etc is all bcoz of some person sitting in a lab made it possible ! Elon Musk is literally trying to inhabit the Mars in near future and these ppl r still stuck with anti-evolution🤦🏽♀️
Now let's get back to EVOLUTIONARY theory. There r ample evidence to prove that evolutionary theory happened and only few set of ppl oppose it - like religious orthodox ppl, conspiracy theorists, half baked google researchers etc ! So what r the evidence to support this theory ??
There r many evidences such as comparative anatomy between species, embryology and development, fossils records, DNA comparisons, species distribution, predictive power of evolution, nested hierarchy of traits etc.. Although I can't cover entirely, let's see some imp ones..
Fossils records :-
One can't deny that innumerable species existed along with/before humans came into existence. Many fossil records and archeological excavations have literally given us practical proofs of different species including humans. Let's see how humans developed first

It is a common misconception that we humans developed from monkeys/chimps but the truth is, we actually shared common ancestors with those chimps/other apes. So the pathway was australophithecus->homo habilis->homo erectus->Neanderthals->homo sapiens (modern day humans)
So as u see, the evolution was not a straight path from monkey to humans instead a more complex branched tree that took millions of yrs ago. What are evidences that happened? Well, we literally have practical evidence of our skeletons of our ancestors, Fossils, footprints etc.
Now u can ask a question if we really evolved from them, what happened to them now? Whr r they? Well here comes the theory of Darwin's natural selection (pls google it😷) and many other such theories. So these intermediate forms that existed one part of time evolved and
gave rise to new species which still had the previous heritable traits yet a newly formed phenotypes to sustain the changing environment. Do we have practical evidence for that ? Absolutely! In 1970, biologists Peter & Rosemary grant studied the Darwin finches for more than 30yrs
When they were on Galápagos, a drought occurred, so fewer seeds were available for finches to eat. Birds with smaller beak could crack open & eat only smaller seeds, but birds with larger beak could crack and eat all seed sizes. As a result of drought, many birds with smaller
-beak died and Only larger beak birds survived. Within 2 yrs, the average beak size in the finch population increased Indicating evolution by natural selection. Now u can also do a comparative studies on human ancestors too - their skulls, teeth, bones etc
This is known as the comparative anatomical study of evolution which can be applied to all species developmental stages. I have also attached a scientific journal on evidence from comparative anatomical study.

There is also an another study based on evolutionary embryology. For eg, Naupilus larva of barnacle & shrimp share similar larval stages despite their radical divergence on later development. Same can be applied to human arm, seal arm,bird&bat wing derived from tetrapod ancestors
Now let's come to an another deeper study known as genetics which strongly supports the evolutionary process. Genetic difference between individual humans today is miniscule - about 0.1% on average. Study of same aspect on chimpanzee genome indicates difference of abt 1.2%
The bonobo (pan paniscus) closest cousin of chimpanzees,differs from humans to the same degree. The DNA diff with gorillas are 1.6%, similarly 3.1% with orangutan and 7% rhesus monkey.
Now if you do a detailed study on further on these chromosomes, one can see the significant difference btw humans chimpanzees r the chr no.2. we humans still carry the vestigeal telomeres & centromeres of our common ancestors !
Now, NANOG genes r which controls the self renewal & pleuripotency of stem cells is situated on 11 different sites but only that is on chr 12 is functional (others r pseudogenes). Now the chimpanzees & humans share the exact location of NANOG indicating same evolutionary ancestor
I can go on with these evidences but unfortunately it is futile to make these dolts to understand science. Thats why I'm saying stick to what u r good at, science is definitely not a strong suit for these ppl !
There r many scientists or scholars also proposed anti evolutionary theory but those r not proven scientifically. Infact one of the modern anti-vaccine movement was started by a doctor known as Andrew Wakefield who falsely claimed link between MMR vaccine and autism.
So apart from conspiracy theorists and religious orthodox ppl, well credited academic person also can claim nonsense, write books etc..but unless proven scientifically u shouldn't believe any of this(remember proposing a theory and falsely accusing a theory/evidence is different)
Now some idiots will come in the comment section as " Can scientists prove god " blah blah..so i wanted to tell u that, experiencing god is a subjective feeling not an objective one ! For science, u need data, calculations, analysis and experimentation etc.
Has any scientists proved or disproved God?? Go on !! Send me a research paper on that !! Infact many scientists were god believers like Einstein, kepler, newton, gregor mendel, plank, Faraday etc ! So one should understand that to study materialistic reality, u need science..
Whereas to experience god, u need beyond human perception - the path to sprituality which is subjective experience not measured by science. Hope everyone understands what I'm saying. Now coming to the claim that our scriptures have mentioned in contradictions with science.,
Remember that whatever given in our scriptures can't be considered 100% authentic. Many were written during a particular time period that had heavy influence on socio-political background. Thats y u could see mention of greeks, guptas, mauryas on puranas.
Thats why Smritis r limited to time period..Also Sri adi-sankaracharya has said that if Vedas contradict pratyaksha pramana or anumana etc, thn u should consider that the vedas r speaking of something else.
so when purusha suktha or other verses of veda which speak abt human origin, it explains the qualitative factors of humans classified into varnas but not the exact origin of humans. Infact our puranic timeline is also wrong. See this video of kalachakra

These r the ppl who believes their family chain is not broken for million yrs 🤣🤣 if they start to take varnas as 4 race, no wonder they would even start to consider supporting AIT. So remember Varnas =|= race ! see my thread on genetics on AIT
