I'm not an evolutionist, but I'll help them out to get this thread rollin for you.
1. Evolutionists know that dinosaurs evolved into chickens.
2. The first single celled organism reproduced asexually, then evolved and branched off into animals that reproduce sexually.
3. Whales and bats have a common ancestor since they're both mammals.
4. Life began in the water than evolved to have legs and lungs to come up on land.
5. Fossils we have of animals that are still alive today "stopped evolving" because they already reached their peak perfection in evolution.
There you go, 5 things that evolutionists definetly know are true.

Here are several reasons why I think evolution can't be true:
1. Ex Nihilo, nihil fit. "Out of nothing, nothing comes." Scientists agree that 13.7 billion years ago there was, quite literally, nothing. No atoms, protons, neurons, etc. Nothing. There is no scientific explanation for how something can grow out of nothing. To me, it's just common sense. If there was a point when nothing existed, then there was no scientific way for that to change.
2. It defies logic. How does green slime turn itself into an African elephant, fire ant, or cockroach? It doesn't. Nowhere in the universe do we see this taking place. Heck, man cannot even do this with all of his brain power. And we're to believe that a gob of goo with no brain, no construction manual, and no guidance, built itself into entities and creatures that are vastly superior in function than anything man can make.
3. The first cell. A simple cell consists of about 10 million parts. Putting aside the fact that there never was any matter from which a cell could be self-created, how did this cell assemble all of its 10 million parts into working order? Again, it had no brain, so it could not have sat there and figure this out. Also, a cell burns energy. What would this first cell consume to ensure that it had energy to get up and running? It's like making a car and then realizing you have no gas. Also, why would this cell suddenly decide that it wanted to start splitting itself in two. And here's the real kicker: the original cell HAD to have DNA inside it to perpetuate itself. Where did this DNA lab come from, complete with its ability to automatically self-replicate itself?
4. The Cambrian Explosion. 99.9% of all living things showed up in the fossil record a virtually the same time, already fully formed. There is no steady progress in the fossil record to contradict this. Evolutionists realize this problem and have come up with what they call "Punctuated Equilibrium." That's a fancy way for saying that fully-functioning creatures suddenly just appeared in the fossil record. That is hocus-pocus to the highest order.
5. How did evolution survive the death of dinosaurs? When dinosaurs died, the rest of the planet went with it. How did it all come back in such a short time?

I have read many book and many articles. My goal is to challenge evolutionists to think on their own. Once they do, they'll realize that it's a bunch on unmitigated nonsense. Consider the following:
Let's look at humans. One day, there was a cell. Nobody can explain how it built itself. Suddenly, it started dividing (for reasons unexplained). Eventually, there were 3 trillion cells in one area. Even though these cells had no cognitive ability, they hatched a plan. "Let's all 3 trillion of us hold hands and turn ourselves into a human. You 500,000,000 cells go up top and turn yourselves into the brain. Make yourselves super smart. You 200,000,000 turn yourselves into the heart. You 100,000, 000 turn yourselves into a liver. We're going to need to eat (even though there's no food), so we'll need to have a system in place than can filter our food. You 250,000,000 turn yourselves into a stomach. Make sure you teach yourselves how do break down food. Then, make sure you have 3 trillion waiters ready to feed every cell in our new body, because we all need to eat. As for you remaining cells, make yourselves useful and turn yourselves into eyes, a nose, a mouth, teeth, hands, feet, toes, etc. Oh, and make sure to make yourselves aesthetically pleasing. Any questions? Okay, go for it."

I love when non-Christians point to the Christian God as a god of the gaps... Because by definition the Christian God cannot be a god of the gaps... For example a god of the gaps is subject to the universe, like Zeus castes down lightning, but once we found out how lightning works Zeus was no longer needed...
But the Christian God is the creator, so every answer points to Him, the creator...
I know he does not do a good job getting around the god of the gaps theory... But to signify that the Christian God can be the god of the gaps is completely wrong...
The only possible way the Christian God can be the god of the gaps is in the form of 'how the universe was made'...
So I don't think you should keep on saying that this man believes in a god of the gaps.. (If he is Christian which his profile says he is...)
