Don't misunderestimate them. We might just witness a sympatriotic speciation event there.

Now we just have to teach fundamentalists that evolution doesn't mean a particular animal changing throughout its own lifetime to suit its surroundings by suddenly growing wings or gills.

No matter how certain the science gets on the topic of abiogenesis (or Cosmological issues, or whatever else) zealots are going to weasel their way out shout "Blasphemy!" or "God did it!" or both.

I might reply "since I don't want to insult your mother, I would say as a human your mother certainly gave birth to a jackass"

"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."

Personally I don't even want to share a genus with those things. Maybe after the event we can reclassify southern baptists into the genus pongo.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.

It freaking blows my mind when people ask questions like that - and it's not at all uncommon.
We need alternate methods of science education to include colorful books with thick cardboard pages, pop-ups and games. Different people learn in different ways.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
