For those who don't get it, evolution deniers' argument is that people couldn't have came from monkeys because monkeys still exist.

The deniers insist that man was created from dirt. So...

Other deniers think that we "believe" that we came from a rock.

What's better here, coming from a rock or from dirt?

Rock beats scissors, dirt beats nothing. Dirt is a loser, I'd rather be rock.

People didnt come from monkeys.

We just both come from one common ancestor. We split off and evolved side by side so to speak. They're our primate cousins.

So they are already arguing about something completely made up. Then again a lot of atheists/pro-evolution people think we came directly from monkeys too lmao. Everyone is wrong.
