Just a few small questions I hope.

I've been reading through what creationists call "the evolution cruncher" which is found on here : http://tinyurl.com/2mnsdc
Now most things are so easily refuted that even I can do it.. But I have a few I really dont know anything about and couldnt really find any answer to either.. I'm going to post those here and I hope that someone here can give me a good explenation as to why the assumptions made on that site are false.
Thank you in advance.

5 - HYDROGEN IN UNIVERSE—According to one theory of solar energy, hydrogen is constantly being converted into helium as stars shine. But hydrogen cannot be made by converting other elements into it. *Fred Hoyle, a leading astronomer, maintains that, if the universe were as old as Big Bang theorists contend, there should be little hydrogen in it. It would all have been transformed into helium by now. Yet stellar spectra reveal an abundance of hydrogen in the stars, therefore the universe must be youthful.
9 - COMET WATER—It has only been in recent years that scientists have discovered that comets are primarily composed of water, and that many small comets are continually striking the earth. Yet each strike adds more water to our planet. Scientific evidence indicates that, if the earth was billions of years old, our oceans would be filled several times over with water.
(5) If any change occurred in past ages in the blanket of atmosphere surrounding our planet, this would greatly affect the clocks in radioactive minerals.
Cosmic rays, high-energy mesons, neutrons, electrons, protons, and photons enter our atmosphere continually. These are atomic particles traveling at speeds close to that of the speed of light. Some of these rays go several hundred feet underground and 1400 meters [1530 yards] into the ocean depths. The blanket of air covering our world is equivalent to 34 feet [104 dm] of water, or 1 meter [1.093 yd] thickness of lead. If at some earlier time this blanket of air was more heavily water-saturated, it would produce a major change—from the present rate,—in the atomic clocks within radioactive minerals. Prior to the time of the Flood, there was a much greater amount of water in the air.
Thats it really for now.
I'm also discussing with a creationists who keeps repeating that there was never enough time to evolve from single celled organism to a full human.. (I managed to convince here that apes are humans, and humans are apes, and that there are positive mutations that add data, so she doesnt seem to be a lost case)
How could I best explain that evolution can explain the whole path that leads up to the human life, I want to be as clear as possible and at the same time as simple as possible, she's not stupid and knows some scientific words and the meaning of a lot of terms..
Any help would be humongously appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
