This has all be hashed and rehashed before....
Let's take your first video on the "Crash Course" series....
Like all pro-evolutionary propaganda, you see the things that are provable put up to mask the things that are not.
"Adaptation" is a known scientifically provable fact that some call "micro-evolution"....that is what is highlighted as "evidence" in both of these videos, whist it is only a "suggestion" that "macro-evolution" is somehow possible because they can see small adaptive differences in creatures of the same taxonomic family. This taken to mean that one species of creature 'can' eventually become an entirely different species of creature, given enough time, but this is not backed up by real evidence....it is pure suggestion masquerading as evidence. It might sound convincing until you really listen to what is NOT said. (read between the lines) Identify a suggestion from a fact.
The truth of the matter is, there is no actual proof that 'macro-evolution' ever happened or is even possible. Every assumption is based on what "might have" or "could have" happened.....not on provable fact. Evolution is, as the fellow said..."a large set of ideas"...not one of them is a fact.
Whale evolution for example is a joke. They find different creatures millions of years apart with similar body structure and make these wild claims of relationship based on nothing but conjecture...or something as flimsy as an ear bone.
Darwin's finches and tortoises and iguanas on the Galapagos Islands were all clearly of the same "family" as their mainland cousins. They had not become different creatures altogether. This was adaptation, not evolution.
In their haste to accept all things "scientific" (humanity's preferred substitute for religion) I believe that a willing gullibility along with a great desire to get rid of an Intelligent Designer has warped the perceptions of a great many people to the point of blindness. Cognitive Dissonance is alive and well in the world of science, especially when the "evidence", though claimed to be "overwhelming" is nothing of the sort.
