I get what you are saying, but these dumbasses use this analogy to prove a god exists. It is too complex to happen by chance.
No, we should not give the idiots fuel. I like to point out all the negative and superfluous outcomes of evolution. I also like to point out more efficient life than humans, such as bacteria and cockroaches, not to mention the 5 mass extinctions that have happened in this planet's evolutionary history. It's a crappy home and dangerous home to live on and claim an efficient perfect all powerful being is watching over.
Understanding evolution in lapersons terms is no different than understanding the difference between the look of a sperm and egg when they meet, vs the 75 year old decades later. All life stems from DNA, but what makes life look different is two things. The for elements of DNA, adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine, being shuffled like a deck of cards. Shuffle that deck, turn over the top card, it looks different. Secondly time, shuffle that deck over billions of years, you end up with countless variations.
Just like 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 and 0 constitute every number humans use and allows us to go into the billions and trillions.
No different than the countless combos of a lottery you can get.
