Hardly worth educating someone with ideas like that.

LOL. Small minds think alike. Everyone knows that a giant spaghetti monster created everything.

Meh if they want to be 13th century peasants let them, less competition for jobs.

Humans did not evolve from monkeys.

Is it really worth the time to correct these people?

Yes. It helps present a consistent message of scientific accuracy in the face of appalling ignorance. When we argue from inaccuracy, we undermine the concept.

More disturbing is that only 28% of public school science teachers teach evolution according to the standards recommended by the National Research Council, 60% apparently "compromise" on the teaching of evolution vs creationism (whatever that means), and 13% explicitly teach creationism in their classes.
