I've featured this. 

I feel this video does a good job of setting people's minds on the right track regarding evolution. Before people can deny or defend evolutionary theory based on individual facts, they need to first understand what the theory is actually stating (or not stating, as the case may be).

Thanks Kris -  it covers all the "buzz words" used in the subject and correctly explains them. e.g. mutations.

This is a good video to visualize the process.

That (the original posted video) is a good way to put you and a (reasonably intellegent) creationist on the same ground as to what it is you are actually arguing over.

Many of the comments creationists make reflect a misunderstanding of what evolution is, and I have to tell them "if evolution actually said that dogs could give birth to kittens [a relatively far out example that I have seen] I would have to agree with you that such a theory is absurd.  But that's not what it says!"  If your interlocutor has any honesty or curiosity, you now have an opportunity to correct their misconceptions as to what it says.  Then, at least, there's a chance that you will be arguing about the same topic.

Arghhhhh see what you made me do?  After watching that great vid, I saw others appear in the final panel, and I clicked and viewed and clicked and viewed and I've spent over an hour here instead of doing... other stuff.  What fun!

EXCELLENT!!!  This is one of the best brief explanations of evolution I've ever seen. While it only covers the broadest outlines of the theory, it does cover everything that is necessary for the non-scientist to understand.
