Sodium chloride is an ionic compound. There are no such things as "NaCl molecules." It's actually quite easy to break up a crystal of NaCl; the ions are held together by forces basically similar to those in the familiar phenomenon of static electricity. You miss the point.
Let me take plain sugar, instead. Can you beat it with a hammer, and cause it to break down into carbon, oxygen and hydrogen - remember the analogy for comparison - it was of breaking a watch to bits, with a hammer.

Actually, the statement was about possibility, not inanimate things... but some people try to change the argument. They attempt to persuade with lofty words and an appearance of steadfast superiority, when they are proselytizing all the time.
The point is simple. It requires faith to believe the theory of evolution.
