If man evolved from monkeys how come there are still monkeys?

Answer 1

I asked the same thing, get ready for the rude people to come out!!! I personally love the question.

Answer 2

I've been following this debate since the Sixties. The brilliant by-line of Evolutionists always was, "Man evolved from monkeys..." Then the question was posed: "If the original model is replaced by the 'evolved' model, then why do monkeys still exist?"

After a pregnant pause the Evolutionists started singing a new song: "We evolved from a common ancestor!" Now that's a far cry from 'Man evolved from the monkeys.'

So the question to evolutionists now is: "Where is that common ancestor, the fabled Missing Link?" Their battle cry now is, "Man and Chimps share (take your pick) 90, 98, 99, 99.9% DNA." Duh! Of course Creation shares DNA. All life on Earth was Created in a sealed environment, that eco-sphere we call the... Earth, from the same building blocks, since all life on Earth is based on the carbon atom.

When it is pointed out that evolution would involve unions for which no evidence exists between hominoids and monkeys that would result in the birth of a hybrid (hybrids are born sterile) the Evolutionist starts asserting, "Speciation..." Not two species creating a third, but a single species birthing a third or more species. The question now is: "When has it been known that a monkey birth anything but another monkey?"

Consider also that animals kill their own young when they sense that they are defective or different. Speciation may work in the plant kingdom, but is stretch in the animal kingdom.

There is no real evidence for evolution, as Man does not fit the evolutionary pattern. Modern Man just appeared on the scene one fine day and may have killed off other primordial hominoids. There is no evidence that he cross-bred with them. Seeing how Modern Man can't even get along with one another in this enlightened day and age, is it any wonder that our ancestors may have killed off early sub humans? May be that our ancestors left the apes, monkeys and chimps alone because they were less of a 'threat' than Neanderthals and their kind?

So, where DID Modern Man come from? Could he have really been exiled from... Eden? Is the Evolutionist really so frightened of that possibility? Food for thought.

Answer 3

This surprisingly common argument reflects several levels of ignorance about evolution. The first mistake is that evolution does not teach that humans descended from monkeys; it states that both have a common ancestor.

The deeper error is that this objection is tantamount to asking, "If children descended from adults, why are there still adults?" New species evolve by splintering off from established ones, when populations of organisms become isolated from the main branch of their family and acquire sufficient differences to remain forever distinct. The parent species may survive indefinitely thereafter, or it may become extinct.

Does this answer your question? Good!

Answer 4

Men never evolved from monkeys. Creationists falsely accuse evolution of predicting this, which is just downright decietful.

This is like saying in languages, if english evolved from french, then why does french still exist? (when they both evolved from latin).

Answer 5

Find me any evolutionist who says than man evolved from monkeys.

Answer 6

If man evolved at one time why hasn't he kept evolving? Science says that something in motion tends to stay in motion but evolution has stopped from what we see today.

Answer 7

The monkeys have not converted yet.

Answer 8

some of the monkeys refused to be humans and they are better off

Answer 9

Its not as simple as that. Humans and apes have a common ancestor.Humans and apes went down different evolutionary paths a long time ago.

Answer 10

do you really think anything as violent as the human race could have evolved from peaceful animals?

Answer 11

Not all of the monkeys were conformists.
