How can a animal come from a amoeba and make a tree?

First off, you use "an" not "a" when the first sound on the following noun is a vowel sound. Second, you need to phrase "What evolution says" as "That's what evolution says."
Pike: Agreed. Often what fundies seem to perceive as a difficulty in getting a good answer to their questions is that the questions are so incredibly bad in the first place due to being grounded in complete misunderstanding (or misrepresentation) of evolutionary theory -- or, indeed, of any aspect of science. You can't give an intelligent answer to such a stupid question without first displacing mountains of disinformation first.

How can such a large group of people be so entirely dull-witted?
The problem with dealing with these people is that we intelligent, well educated people do not speak their language. So for the benefit of the world at large, I will endeavor to educate you on how to speak their language to them:
Errr, how can something share an immediate common ancestor with a Pan and be this retarded?

Here we have an example of a normal person turned into an idiot by Kent Hovid."
Kent Hovid and his wife are exactly where they belong - behind bars.
Following up Papabear's excellent constatation with the obvious:
"How can these people be so against something they know nothing about?"
Preaching ignorance and falsehoods about something (presenting a straw man) is a strategy to demonize or dismiss it. The same is true to dehumanize some human groups (like the Jews). And to perpetuate the bullying of the LGBTQ, or to maintain racism, etc.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
