I see you guys frequently get in these kind of situation where you show the evidence of evolution to religious people (mostly Christians around here) and you try to explain them and I'm not saying you should stop, but I just want to make you realize what you're standing on.
Yes, the evidence for evolution are everywhere, but when it comes to religious people that don't want to accept them there isn't much point in showing it to them because to them it's on psychological level. For instance take the flat Earth debate in 1866. There was this guy named Parallax that claimed Earth was flat and no other then Alfred Wallace decided to teach him a lesson. So they decided to observe Eddystone Lighthouse from distance for which Parallax claimed would be visible in full and not only the lantern at the top because of the curvature of Earth. On that particular day air refracted so that somewhat less of the lantern was visible (about half) which made Parallax proclaim victory because these heathen globularists claimed whole lantern would be visible.
In other words if they decided to ignore the evidence there is nothing you can do about it. People have reasons to believe the Tooth Fairy created the World instead of it gradually evolving and that persistence of living in the imaginary world frequently comes from tragedies in their lives, like death of close ones, for which asshole religions pray upon and instead of letting these people be mentally healed they provoke them until they're totally insane. So you showing them some evidence won't do anything.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
