ok so first there was ocean scum, that grew up eventually to be a mudpuppy like thing, who eventually crawled out of the ocean, then wound up in the trees(???) and became a monkey, then came down from the trees and became more and more erect( well there was obviously SOME erection going on throughout this entire journey) and then monkey donned a monkey suit and moved to wall street?
wow...thats some deep stuff!!!

If you had ever done biology lab you would see that mutation doesn't mean that the whole population mutates.
If you separate the mutants from the rest of the population (which always happens in nature) they will develop on their own leaving the wild type and the mutant populations distinct and separate.

When Charles Darwin wrote the Origin of the Species, you might notice that he wrote a BOOK to explain the theory, not a few paragraphs. What does this mean to you? It means YOU may actually have to read a BOOK to understand evolution. Have you every read a BOOK before? I recommend them.
Also, if you google evolution there are some excellent websites that explain evolution in depth. But again, it is going to require some extensive reading.
Evolution is not something that I would try to dumb down into a YA post for fundies who are to lazy to do their own due diligence and read something meaningful.

May I suggest that you have a look at "A Short History of Almost Everything" by Bill Bryson? It will give you a more thorough understanding of these things, and it is written in a very accessible style.
Best of luck.

Christianity- Is the belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree.

You managed to rephrase "if we came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys" Amazing. We came from the same ANCESTORS.
edit-
One population gets split and isolated from the other. Different mutations occur in their respective populations and they have different needs since they're in different environments. The populations aren't able to procreate with one another and thus one species diverges and becomes a new one.
There.

No, you've got it all wrong. First there was mud, and then God breathed on it, and that's how man was made; then He yanked out one of man's ribs, and that's how woman was made.
Feel better?
Look, it's not the fault of "evolutionists" if you lack the motivation and/or the wherewithal to make a serious study of evolution theory.
Sorry; maybe I'm being a little harsh; but it's frustrating to read this kind of thing. You're casting ridicule, and it's ridicule in the wrong place.

"If we ate them, would that make us cannibals? Good question! There's just so many holes in their theory they can't fill in!"
Sorry, but biology doenst care about definitions and semantics.
But they have an answer nevertheless: if you (or your other sex) can produce viable offspring with it, dont eat it.

Branching. Populations diverge.
Please learn. Creationists wallow in ignorance and pride themselves on it.

You basically got science right.
The proof is, of course, LAWYERS and ACCOUNTANTS who work for Enron!
Oh yea, and POLITICIANS
They are ABSOLUTE PROOF WE CAME FROM MONKEYS!

I think there are lot of parts you don't get, and the fact that your trolling with these questions in the R&S section tells most of us that you don't want to "get" them.
