I have conversations with theists about evolution from time to time. Most of those conversations have been identical in some respect. Firstly, they don't want to learn what evolution means, but they will ask questions. They either reject the answers instantly because, a) they don't want to learn what it is, ie' don't believe it. b) they've got something to say which is supposedly to challenge "us" at our core, because it's nearly always about "God" with them. Secondly, they tend to have some psudo theories of what evolutionary theory claims which are completely incorrect. 1) the idea that 'one creature becomes another', often with the cats and dogs analogy based on both being related; and 2) Of the varieties of distinct creatures, including mammals, fish, animals, etc, and again, clearly no understanding of population, natural selection, cross breeding, etc. And lastly, the missing links, yorn, lets not bother addressing that one again.
