She was either an arrogant idiot ("here to set people straight") or internet troll number 1,434,516,768 (give or take a hundred billion or so). Poe's Law reminds us that trying to separate the parody from the reality is a waste of effort.
I am really surprised you didn't perceive it after a bit.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
