Catholics, especially Traditional Catholics, should first and foremost be firmly convinced from their Faith and from Divine Authority that Evolution is a False Theory and is Objective Heresy against Divine Revelation, which almost certainly will be struck with anathema one day. Even before Nicaea, many Fathers knew and said it is dogma that Christ is God and the opposite is heresy, based on Scripture and Tradition. Similarly, Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition do not by any means give those who seriously study them leeway to believe death and destruction continued for aeons before Adam was supposedly even created, from an ape; and in practice almost all evolutionists are polygenists anyway. Polygenism is totally heresy and denies Original Sin and all of Christianity. There was that discovery of "Y Chromosomal Adam" and "Mitochondrial Eve" not that long ago, which again Confirms Creation.
Evolutionists will absurdly say "Adam never met Eve", "Adam and Eve were not the only parents", there were other persons, and other silly excuses, but they are all wrong. True Science confirms True Tradition of the Special Creation of Mankind less than 10,000 years ago.
"Using the new, more accurate rate, Mitochondrial Eve lived only about 6,500 years ago ... In 2010, a comprehensive comparison was made between the DNA on the male Y chromosome of humans and chimpanzees. The differences were more than 30 percent! 13

The best way to decimate evolution once and for all is to demonstrate scientifically the Scriptural Fact that Humanity, the Earth and All of Creation is Young. If there were not millions or billions of years for the alleged evolution to take place, evolution will die a natural death.
Creation has 101 excellent proofs that the Earth is Young.
https://creation.com/age-of-the-earth I will summarize just 3 here (1) The Fact that DNA cannot survive 10,000 years, as mentioned earlier, and almost universally admitted even by evolutionists; combined with the fact that DNA has been found in some of the earth's most ancient fossils is proof that millions of years just simply never passed. (2) Tissue, Blood Cells, Haemoglobin etc being found still intact in Dinosaurs and other ancient animals is another proof of a young earth. "Evidence of hemoglobin, and the still-recognizable shapes of red blood cells, in unfossilized dinosaur bone is powerful testimony against the whole idea of dinosaurs living millions of years ago. It speaks volumes for the Bible’s account of a recent creation."

It is certain that C-14 cannot survive in ancient materials more than 100,000 years old, yet it is repeatedly found in those claimed to be several millions or even billions of years old, see this from St. Kolbe's Centre: "Carbon 14 is an isotope formed by the radioactive decay of carbon atoms, which is not supposed to be detectable in organic material older than about 50,000 to 60,000 years because of its short half life. However, it is often found in materials dated by other methods to be millions of years old, including petroleum, coal, wood, and bone, and has even been detected in diamonds otherwise dated at billions of years of age.[10],[11],[12]" Please see

Next, consider the known disproofs of the false methodology that evolutionists use: "This dating technique was recently tested for accuracy and failed.15 Three independent laboratories were sent a sample of basalt produced by an Hawaiian volcanic eruption less than 200 years ago. The testing results varied from 20 million years to 3 billion years.16, 17". So a rock of known age that was in fact less than 200 years old was "computed" to age between 20 million-3 billion years!
