3) Hancock stated that population geneticists don’t take their own models as gospel.

During our livestreamed debate, I quoted from Dr. Lynch who made it clear that not only does he take population genetics theory as gospel, he insists that if any claim about evolution cannot be shown to be feasable according to the established population genetics models, it should be held in doubt!

During the crossexam, at around timestamp 53:18, I asked Dr. Hancock if he agreed with Lynch’s statement. His response:

“Yes, of course.”

I’m unsure if he realized this contradicted his earlier statements, but in any case this was a concession on point number 3.

All I need point out is that this is an obvious misrepresentation of Lynch, that Hancock did not agree with the misrepresentation - and the claim is obviously false anyway. There is a big difference between doubting a claim that is contradicted by a model and holding the model to be infallible.

This is the sort of claim that earns creationists their reputation for dishonesty.
