It's not overreacting, it's an attempt to keep science from being dumbed down or distorted by religion. Religion deals with the supernatural, so science has nothing to say about it, but in the same Vein religion needs to mind it's business about science.
Maybe god did do it, science isn't refuting that. All it's saying is that whatever happened, this is how it happened.

I believe he's talking about currently living creatures, as in how Humans and Great Apes share a large amount of DNA, and even one of our chromosomes is a fused form of two chromosomes found in apes.
Also that all animals share some DNA in common which would make sense if we all evolved from a singular creature.
