Nor can it account for the incredible complexity of the universe, or the amazing 'appearance of fine-tuning' in the universe
If science could account for all the incredible complexities in the universe would we not be at the point where we brush off our hands and find a new game to play? This seems to imply that science does not understand everything yet, I would not place this as a "major problem".
The "appearance of fine-tuning" has little meaning, Northern lights / Aurora Borealis appears to be magical...

I am curious who they would be. Any chance you could supply names or some of the papers?

second law of thermodynamics (entropy)

irreducible complexity
I can confidently say that these two issues are only issues in the creationist camp. I have read enough on this forum alone to say that they have little substance.
From my brief look at the chart so far I think its a good start. The "major problems" with evolution only seems to be reiteration of commonly refuted claims.

So in the purest sense of the definition, I believe it is fair to say that for naturalistic evolutionists, humans do not have a soul
The theory of evolution does not say that, an atheist may use evolution as a way of showing a lack of soul but this is not proof. When explaining how to fry an egg I am not getting into a discussion about if a chicken has a soul. When talking about chicken souls I may bring up the act of fying an egg however.
restricts humanity to bone, tissue, and chemical processes
Good, thats what a scientist should do when talking about bones, tissues and chemical processes.
