Hi! I would imagine that you're looking for non-confrontational, information-based replies, because family.
I skimmed the article, and it's full of things that don't relate to evolution. Evolution by natural selection is the theory that describes how living organisms change over time, due to various internal and external factors that control which ones survive. Evolution does not address the origin of life, the big bang, or the layers of the earth. The author of the article fundamentally misrepresents what evolution is, intentionally or not. If you wanted to delve deeper in to those topics, it would be easy to pick their arguments apart, but they are talking about evolution.
There is a book about Lucy, an ancestor of ours that was discovered in Africa. It's an amazing read full of science, actual findings, and tangential info about how the human body ended up like it is. I really enjoyed the part about why our hips are a hard connection -vs- our shoulders that are not.
Examples of evolution:
The hardest part of these discussions is parsing all of the lies/misinformation that someone has encountered before you get there. Good luck!
Since the OP mentioned Australopithecus, if you're interested in human evolution specifically in terms of documentaries I'd also recommend Becoming Human and The Human Spark. The book Lucy by Donald Johanson is also very good, but the paleoanthropology may be a bit out of date depending on how much they've edited it since it was first published.
Finally, to the OP or anyone else, I'm an anthropology doctoral student and TA for my university's big 450 student introductory human evolution course. My main focus in upper paleolithic archaeology (stuff between around 40,000 and 15,000 years ago) and I've been working in the field for a few years now. If you've got any specific questions, I'd be happy to try and answer them for you.
