Do you think that, if they could speak, monkeys would argue whether they were evolved from humans?
Monkey #1: It is true. Humans are our ancestors.
Monkey #2: I didn't come from no human!
Monkey #1: Yes, it is true. A million years ago your ancestors were the same as humans.
Monkey #2: Oh, so I am not evolved from a human? They just share a common ancestor.
Monkey #1: Exactly!
Money #2: I disagree. My ancestors were on Noah's Ark. My ancestors were created as monkeys, not humans.

... How many posts does it take to finalize the evo/creation debate? One... Two... CRUNCH! The world may never know.

Wow, a PRATT list... Never seen one of those before.

Of course, with all the "hahaha"ing it's quite difficult to think of this as anything but a Poe ;)

1. "We" did not evolve from monkeys so much as modern monkeys and modern hominids (humans) share common ancestors some 30 million years ago.
2. First of all, Darwin never said his theories were wrong; he said that his theories required more evidence, which is how any scientific theory is developed. And his theories were supported by the best kind of scientific evidence starting in the late 30's, supported by literally every scientific finding since the Genetic Watershed of 1956 (also known as the Unified Theory of Biological Evolution).
3. No, no I do not. Belief is antithetical to scientific investigation, first and foremost. Next, all evidence of every credible kind points to the evolution of anatomically modern Homo sapiens something like 800,000 years ago, or slightly more. The genus Homo is first known in Africa some two million years BP, and hominids generally are known to be at least six million years old in Africa. Furthermore, faith-based arguments still have no credible counter to modern scientific dating methods, as science is concerned.
4. How come you don't speak every other language spoken by your ancestors? How come the descendants of German-speaking immigrants to the United States don't still speak and understand German? Simple: Language is a learned trait, just like all the other awesome stuff humans have learned to do over the last 80,000 years of our sociocultural and biological evolution.
And finally, in rebuttal to that final "fact," the Apes (Hominoidea) descended from the Old World Monkeys (Cercopithecoidea) some 60 million years ago. The specifics are still debated amongst those who know their ass from a hole in the ground, but there is no substantial scientific debate regarding the first hominids (2.5 mya), the first hominids to leave Africa (1.8 mya), the advent of anatomically modern humans (85 kya), or the first person to realize how all of human prehistory had actually occurred (precisely contradictory to the fairytales presented in the Bible).
I realize that most everyone has less time to waste on these sorts of arguments than I do, and I thank you for taking the time to indulge my scientifically-justified indignation, but the fact is that I have two nationally-honored degrees in Anthropology and Archaeology and a ton of undilluted common sense to support my point of view. What have you got?

How can anyone beleive we evolved from monkeys heres a few questions for people who beleive that

1.If we did evolve from monkeys then how come babies arent born monkeys

For the same reason that gorilla babies aren't born orangutans.

2.Even Darwin said his theories were wrong before he died so why do you still believe them

If you are thinking of that "freely absurd" quote, it was taken way out of context. Actually read the book, not just what people with an agenda want you to read.

3.do you really not believe the bible it says we were created in seven days not millions of years

There's plenty of evidence to show that the Biblical creation account is incorrect.

4.how come we cant speak monkey

Why should we? babies can't speak english, they have to learn it.

1.Because we supposibly evolved from monkeys so our kids would have to evolve

Individuals do not evolve, only populations evolve. Evolution does nopt say that human babies must be born as monkeys and evolve into humans as they grow up.

Yes it was just a rumor it just shows some people will do anything to get people away from god

And perhaps the quote about Darwin just shows how some people will do anything to get people away from evolution.

1. Because we are not of the same genus. A basic biology class can teach this to you, and really, its not rocket science.

2. Find me this quote, the actual thing that he said, and I'll believe you. Other than that, Darwin himself actually answered most of the questions that are generally thrown out there to argue against evolution.

3. Yes, I really do not believe that we were created in 7 days. It took me a little over 9 months to be made.

4. See # 1, also, we have larger brains and have a grasp on the concept of language. This would be the difference between our set of communication skills and theirs.

Wasn't the OP one of FSTDT's top rated quotes for a while? This "how come we don't speak monkey" schtick sounds familiar.
I would say that, according to evolution, we do. After all, if we're "glorified apes", then we speak "glorified simian". Make sense?

I can even tell you what a dinosaur sounds like: TWEET-TWEET-TWEET.

In a way, yes, but I think that's not what the OP had in mind.

Ah, but what do non-avian dinosaurs sound like? ;)
