Technical specification for the bigWig file format
And that is using libBigWig which specifically references Kent Utils.

How would I respond to this evolution-denier?
His response to the points you made: "A fusion entails a mass deletion of the site within it, the fusion site doesn't encompass the entire DDX11L2 gene but covers the first intron in its sequence. http://genome.ucsc.edu/".

Regarding 200000+ ERVs that are shared between humans and chimps
Your first and second link seem to be too complex for me, in that second link the male bonobo isn't complete and only female bobobos are available so far. What do you think of this https://genome.ucsc.edu/

Finding specific binding motifs
The easiest thing to do is to go the the UCSC genome browser (genome.ucsc.edu) and look at the Encode transcription factor binding data around your gene. You can also look for motifs by picking out a region of the gene and sending it to MEME, but actually looking at the experimental results is more reliable.

Technical specification for the bigWig file format
I'm looking to write some low level tools that interface with bigWig files and I'm having difficulty finding a technical summary of exactly what the contents of the file format are. I've been reading the KentTools source code in C which has modules to create and edit BWs. I've found a brief description of the sections and headers in bwgInternal.h here but the lower level modules for actually writing to disk are less well documented. I'm very happy to keep digging through the code and experimenting but was wondering if anyone knows of a better summary of what the various parts of the file expect, in English rather than in code. Thanks.

Why does UCSC Genome browser look so archaic?
I mean if you want to work on it it is open source as apart of Kent https://github.com/ucscGenomeBrowser/kent
What are some alternatives?
When comparing libBigWig and kent you can also consider the following projects:
samtools - Tools (written in C using htslib) for manipulating next-generation sequencing data
map-of-reddit - Interactive map of reddit
bwa - Burrow-Wheeler Aligner for short-read alignment (see minimap2 for long-read alignment)
bbi-js - Parser for bigwig and bigbed files
