Please stop with the bashing and name calling. If you want to degrade evolution than do it right.
Reasons people have to bash the theory of evolution.
1. If evolution is real than why are monkeys and apes still around shouldn't they evolve to humans now?
Answer: We did not evolve from a monkey, that’s a common misconception. Modern monkeys and great apes are from a different branch in the evolutionary tree than us. So they will never evolve into humans EVER.
2. I can’t think of myself as a monkey!
Answer: We are not really monkeys; we share a common ancestor with other apes and share almost identical DNA with them. Australopithecus is close to a common ancestor from apes to man. Through time we evolve a bigger brain and slowly (millions of years) change from Homo habilis to Homo erectus to Cro Magnon (early humans) than to Homo sapiens (ancient man) than finally to Homo sapiens sapiens (modern man). There are solid fossil evidences to back up these claims.
3. What is evolution you ask? And how does it work?
Answer: Do notice that when you have children all of them are sort of similar but also very different. If humans didn’t have the technology that enable us to have superior survival odds, than we would have to play Darwin’s survival of the fitness game. Let’s say your brother has horrible vision, his chance of surviving and reproducing is very slim. If your born with a mutation that allows you to see at night but disables morning vision than you will be nocturnal. If you can survive and pass your genes to the next generation, than you’ll make a new species that are nocturnal. That’s basically what evolution boils down to.
What do you think about evolution now? I used logical reasonable explanations that can be proved. Please don’t turn your backs on science because it gets in the way of your faith.
