Proving him wrong and getting him to accept that he is wrong are two different things. It looks to me as if he's asking a question that will generate short answers that he can use to go on the offensive. The alternative is to defend what he believes, and he probably doesn't enjoy that at all.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
