Ever talk with a true believer, a classic biblical literalist? They have no doubts about human (and any other) evolution. In their mind it did not happen. Everything is immutable and fixed at time of creation.
I find it very interesting to watch the semantic gyrations they go into when confronted by any contradictory evidence. After all the mental contortions and dodges are over, their response always boils down to "It ain't in the BIBLE so it didn't happen" Either that or the contradictory evidence as irrelevant and is condemned as either God (or Satan) testing their faith.
