Many Creationism / ID supportors don't understand evolution, they just think they do. If people generally understood evolution as well as they thought they did, I wouldn't hear questions like "well if humans evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?" and my ex-girlfriend wouldn't have some idiot from her evolutionary anthropology class ask "if bipedalism is so adaptive for humans, why don't tigers do it, since they're endangered?"
Then there was that guy on the Colbert Report who
knew evolution was a lie because the entire concept of evolution (according to him) was "a group of monkeys fell out of a tree, lost all their hair and started walking upright and talking." Obviously this is completely stupid and not at all what scientists actually believe, but it was true as far as he knew and he didn't feel any regret in using this logical fallacy to justify his believe in Creationism, because it apparently makes more sense.
