Post by R Kym HorsellPost by TedIf you believe in evolution then suppose you
explain why there are still monkeys. Yes, we
know, you never thought of it. But at least
now you can understand why evolution must
be false.
Either it is false or you are wrong, you mean.
If you paid attention in grade school evolutionary theory
says modern mokeys (& apes) and humans have a common ancestor.
It does not say humans are not descended from modern monkeys.
Yep. I predict either WHOOOSH! or evasion. And FWIW, humans
*are* apes, so "apes and humans" is somewhat redundant.
Yeah, I tend to pedantry; sorry 'bout that...
Post by R Kym HorsellSo we know which one is wrong.
Please dont use proof by contradiction again.
But it's so *satisfying* to a certain type of cretin!
Anyway, the cl;assic answer to that sort of idiocy is a
question, "If modern Americans came from Europe, why are
there still Europeans?". And yeah, I know that not all
modern Americans came from Europe, but the "logic" still
applies.
