Books written on the question of you existing alongside your cousins?
Because the same, simple principle operates in understanding why humans and monkeys coexist.
Not that this will make a scrap of difference to one who simply discards evidence willy-nilly.
And thus ridicule-worthy?However, the question "If we came from monkeys why are there still monkeys" is trivially easy.
In a sense, yes.Did you slam your head into the keyboard and hope words came out?
Yep! Do it all the time. Some Shakespeare came out a few times.
As I said, Mr. Dawkins explained it without rolling his eyes.Books written on the question of you existing alongside your cousins?

Why can't you guys?
My mother said that the doctor told her to roll her eyes as exercise for eye muscles
And thus ridicule-worthy?
I could understand a little consternation if someone asks that, is told that monkeys are our cousins, not our grandparents, then later he asks that again; but as a first-time question, I don't understand the ridicule that ensues.
You would think that someone would do at least a modicum of research and know something about the topic before coming out swinging with this tired old canard and expecting victory.
What about Jesus walking on water?
What's wrong with that question?
I see a major difference between:
Q: If humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?I see the "if question" ridiculed all the time, and I noticed that Mr. Dawkins, when explaining it, didn't even roll his eyes.
Q: Since humans came from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?
Evolution doesn't require an ancestral species to go extinct, and they can give rise to multiple different descendant species. Although, humans certainly did not evolve from monkeys as the most recent ancestors, that would be apes.
I'm somewhat familiar with the rhetoric.
I'd like to know why the question is ridicule-worthy.
Mostly just because of how much people ask it, and the fact that it is redundant to even answer it anymore, given how many times it has already been answered.
This site currently has 370,017 members.
How many times have you heard that question asked here? one? two? three?
And that makes it ridicule-worthy?
I take it you're not a school teacher?Way more than that AV. Also, outside of this site as well. It is a bit of a tropey question or thing to mention, the creationist equivalent of an atheist bringing up invisible pink unicorns or the pasta based creature that shall remain implied but not named.
I take it you're not a school teacher?
Don't school teachers invite the same questions over and over each year to her new class?
What if member 370,018 joins tomorrow, comes here and asks, "Why, if we're descended from apes, are apes still around?"
Then the next day, member 370,019 joins, comes here and ...
Is that what you cull from such a good question?Can't we just find repetition of questions that signify no attempts to learn for oneself annoying? -_-
... and I am 20 years old AV, a bit on the young side to be a teacher, don't you think?
