I'm happy to debate anyone here on evolution. The evolution which purports to explain the emergence of complex life from the most simple single celled organisms, not the "change over time", bunk.
Same thing. Read a book.

You must have confused us with the christians, they are the ones who believe the magic "POOF" of life into mud statues and the creation of bovine DNA strands by the colored pole method.
Right. Differential reproductive success causes beneficial changes to be retained in the gene pool. That is what the definition of natural selection is.
That drives evolution.

I don't believe there is such a mechanism which could turn a single cell into a human being over the course of billions of years. Certainly not natural selection acting on mutation.
A single cell becomes a human being in nine months. What's that? Magic?
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
