It's more poetic if you assault them in club and with a club. Then afterwards, they can explain the experience by saying "I got clubbed in a club by a schlub, whom I slugged and threw in a tub." Maybe even punctuate it by saying "wub wub" at the end.
"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."
