Some Questions I Have About Islam as an Agnostic Interested in Learning More

Assalamu alaikum. I’m agnostic and curious about Islam, and I’ve got a few questions on my mind. How would you talk to someone like me and help them see that Islam is the truth? Why choose Islam over Judaism when both worship the same God? I’ve heard people say that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) borrowed ideas from earlier traditions and just rewrote them in poetry to make them more convincing-so, is that true? I’d also like to know what Islam really says about women. Are there actual scientific facts and proofs in the Qur’an? And what about evolution? Lastly, when we die in Islam, is it like a state of sleep or are we fully conscious? JazakAllah khair.
