The fact Jesus described the power of God being seeds planted and branches encouraged to grow, and the fact that 'kinds' in Genesis actually just means 'kinds' and doesn't mean 'a single unchanging form to be kept forever', might actually get through to them. :L
It's funny that fundamentalists think evolution means a new species will just pop up in one generation when in evolution the offspring, with a few very rare exceptions (like viable hybrids or the parthenogenesis mutation of the marbled shrimp), offspring will always be the same species as the parents. The Bible says each reproduces after its own kind and so does evolution.
Hundreds of millions of Christians are able to reconcile their faith with evolution itself, if not the actual theory that explains it scientifically.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
