"If we evolved from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?"
Good question! Why didn't all the monkey species just disappear into oblivion as soon as humans appeared?
One of my favorite creationist tales regards the chimpanzee that's given a typewriter and an endless supply of paper. The Christian kooks reason that a chimp could type forever and never create even the simplest book from chance.
How a chimpanzee sitting at a typewriter mimics biological/evolutionary forces isn't explained. If you could transport a typewriter back through time several hundred million years and present it to a bunch of trilobites, what could they create with it? If you gave a yo-yo to a giraffe, what could it accomplish?
