The fact is there are some big problems with Darwinism/Evolution, whatever you want to call it.

There are but they don't disprove evolutionary biology or help the anti-science cause.

Plus I doubt that you know what they are. A few interesting examples are that the number of animal phyla have not been agreed upon, that the number of plant phyla is even more hotly contested, publishing of Proterozoic Eon fossils is way too slow, and the difficulties in calibrating the biological clock for molecular DNA and RNA evolution.

As you and I have pointed out, the areas of controversy in biology do not include the things that anti-evolutionists concern themselves with, such as the age of the earth and common descent.

Yes, well, you can "doubt" me all you like. :)

The fact remains there are serious, thinking people who have problems with Darwinism.

Calling them "anti-science" is demagougery, and doesn't deal with their observations.

I won't try and convince you otherwise, you can find it yourself if you want to be open.

Otherwise, I'll engage people as I encounter them and plant a seed.

Good luck.
