Evolution is a scientific theory.
Creationism is a hypothesis.
Then explain to him that he needs to read sources that aren't creationist craze.
Creationism isn't even a hypothesis. It's a wild assed guess based on cherry picked evidence and logical fallacies.

How the Hell do homo erectus evolve up to homo Neanderthalis without gaining information? I mean if he believes there is proof of losing information, that's the same as gaining information because information that changing is both depending on your point of view.. Like if you change a byte from 0 to 1 you simultaneously "gain" the 1 while "losing" the 0.
Evolution from my understanding isn't considered a theory anymore.
Well even a good deal of religious fraternities now accept evolution over creationism.
They have just changed their argument to say basically it shows Gods work is even more beautiful than we first thought.
