You're presuming a lot about people's exposure to various ideas. A reasonable person surrounded by unreasonable people, who has - of course - encountered talk of evolution but almost exclusively absurd caricatures isn't going to "already know it's a fact".

If they graduated high school, they were exposed to the facts regardless of who they're around. Anyone who doesn't know evolution is reality is not a person of reason.

"If they graduated high school, they were exposed to the facts regardless of who they're around."
