I think it would be good if someone like Scott Alexander writes a basic "here's why evolution is true"-post.

I don't think such a thing is possible. There's too many bad objections to evolution floating around in the environment.

The goal hasn't to be to address every bad objection. Addressing objections strong enough to convince an economics PhD and at the same time providing the positive reasons that make us believe in evolution would be valuable.
