why are there still monkeys?

Question

you would expect a monkey to keep moving around, no?

i've never seen a still monkey mind you, they jump around everywhere

leowin1948. please expand on your outragous claims

Damn there is some really uneducated moronic theist answers here. PLEASE GO READ EVOLUTION before making stupid stupid commnets

ernist 77.

you are quoting from 1859!!!! our knowledge has increased since then dude

Answer 1

Ha! Ha! Ha! okay whats next...bellybuttons??? lmao

Answer 2

I think you are really the Dumb one here.

If evolutionary theory is right then monkeys have got to be able to evolve into something resembling humans no matter how much their DNA or whatever changed. It also means that there should be more different types of human species (and no I don't mean just the different races which have acquired different skin colours and slightly different eye, nose formations due to climatic conditions - these are just adaptations - which can be seen to be reversed through changes in habitation).

I think you are really the dumb one here not to face upto facts and still keep your blinkers on despite having no tangible proof of the evolutionary chain or any means of scientists reproducing any living organism from a mixture of chemicals.

The scientists having failed singularly from curing any major diseases, or halting death, creating life from a mixture of chemiclas and convincing everyone of their misplaced ideas and away from God, are now resorting to tampering with DNA in an attempt to make everyone into drones. You must be a complete fool not to see that tampering with DNA can only lead to one thing and that is someone trying to control the emotions and obedience of humans / animals etc ie factory humans, ie. drones/robots.

You and the rest of the atheists are the fools to be taken in by the propaganda that scientists are always on the verge of some major life changing invention when instead life just continues on the same old tack of drudgery, sloth, greed, lust etc and the only ones making any money are the governments and scientists.

You and the atheists are the proverbial monkeys but the difference is you keeping jumping to the tune of the scientists.

You and the rest of the atheists spend so much time arguing against any obedience to God and his gift of freewill, but will end up being drones to scientists and politicians who will exploit you beyond your own limited comprehension stripping you of all your freewill.

All I can say is Good Luck - since if there is no God and no life hereafter we have not lost anything and you and the future generations stand to lose so much regardless of whether there is a God or not.

DARWIN SAYS HIS TEORY IS NO MORE WITH HIS OWN WORDS!!!
In Asia, Africa and Australia lives a remarkable creature the archerfish that shoots down its prey from the air above it with a burst of water. It uses its tongue and the top of its mouth to form a groove simiilar to a gun barrel. Then by compressing its gills it squirts water up to six feet with deadly accuracy -- in spite of the distortion caused by seeing the target from below the surface of water.
Evolutionists still don't know how the archerfish got its amazing abilities.They can only wonder. Viewid through the distortion of evolution they cannot explain how the archerfish gradually learned to not aim where its eyes see but to aim instead at a different spot where the target actually is.
Without its binocular vision it couldnot see the object with such precision and without the special shape of the upper mouth and a specialized tongue it could not make the groove it needs to shoot lthe concentrated jet of water. Many factors have to appear together and be perfectly formed for this shooting mechanism to work. This of course goes totally against Charles Darwin's evolutionary theory which is based on a gradual step by step process.
Darwin wrote in (The Origin of Species)-- "If it could be demonstrated that any complex organ existed which could not possibly have been formed by numerous successive slight modifications my theory would absolutely break down"(1859, p. 171).
The archerfish offers precisely such an example since several complex systems must all appear at the same time perfectly and not gradually formed--binocular vision,a specialized mouth and tongue, specialized gills to compress and expel water and an aiming system based in the brain and not in the eyes. If any of these parts is missing the mechanism will not hit the target and no survival advantage is created.
When you get down to the facts the archerfish with one squirt of its gills shoots down Charles Darwin's entire theory of evolution and that by Darwin's own admission!!!
So evolution doesn't have the answer to this mystery. But the Bible does. Genesis 1:20-21 says that God created all the creatures that live in the water. He created a great variety of perfectly formed fish including the archerfish with all its special features such as binocular vision other specialized organs and a built in ability to compenste for the distortion of the water.

Answer 4

Same as there are still short legged hedgehogs around!!
Some have developed long legs so that they can run faster and less chance of being run over. These hedgehogs have evolved over a very short number of years, approx 100yrs. But not all hedgehogs have evolved in this same way. Some have stayed the way they always were. A species can split to form different features according to its enviroment. This is why we still have monkeys and the evolved homosapiens.

Answer 5

I guess i know where you're coming from...

If evolution was true, then monkeys would be as intelligent as us by now. Their bodies would have mutated and they would be able to do everything we can do.

When you programme a computer, the programme will always remain the same and cannot mutate unless ‘programmed to’. Same as if you planted an apple tree, it would always produce apples. The only way apples can grow ears is if scientists fiddle around with the genetics.

Answer 6

There are still monkeys because of 2 reasons :
1- They find a space to live .
2- Humans protect them .

Answer 7

Monkeys do move ... I have seen them.

If you are making reference to evolution then actually read Darwin - his hypothesis is that we came from a common ancestor NOT and I repeat NOT as a direct line of descendancy.

Evolution is a branch formation hence multiple species - it is not straight lines with an entire 'lesser' species dying out.

Answer 8

Because they were created as monkeys. If evolution took place, I am sure they would have gladly evolved into humans. But because there is no evolution sloths are still slow, the kiwi and the ostrich still cant fly, humans still don't have gills to save them from drowning.

Answer 9

Monkeys are stll there to prove Theory of Evolution is wrong.If the theory of Surival of Fittest,man and monkey cannot co exist

Answer 10

Haha! Still monkeys! All the ones I have seen (apart from in photos) tend to move I'm afraid.
