Come At Me Creationists
exolution for dummies
Question: If humans evolved from monkeys,
then why are there still monkeys?
Humans did not evolve
FROM monkeys. We evolved
from a Common Ancestor.
In the begginging:
This is a single cell.
At some point, the cell copied itself to form two cells.
some way. It had a mutation.
The mutation allowed the second cell to eat pink
food, something the original cell could not do.
However, the second cell (grey) came out different in
The white cell, however, can still only eat yellow food.
When the yellow food one day begins to disappear from the
environment, suddenly this mutation is critical to the survival
of the grey cell survival.
This ' what we call Adaptation.
Time
This adaptation continued to happen with all life as it spread
into new environments. Over thousands of generations and
millions of years, these adaptations accommodate until life looks
very different from when it started, with only the most well
adapted species surviving,
This process is known as:
Natural Selection
A similar process happened with man.
The traditional image that represents the evolution of
man is this:
aft
However, this process is more accurately conveyed through a
different, slightly more complex image:
Approximate DNA mi my to humans‘
Fame I
these guys just didn' t make it to the present day.
So while we have a common ancestor with monkeys, we didn' t
evolve from them directly, if anything we evolved with them.
Thank you for reading.
Please Note While this image attempts to accurately potleaf the process of , it TS Still a grossly
overloaded ?! of a very complex morass Ifyou are Intrigued Di want to learn more then head

But if we evolved from a common ancestor.....what is that common ancestor?
Also...racism below, but you already know that

Little problem that will always shit in atheists faces. Scientifically it has been proven again and again that nothing can be created from nothing. In other words for anything to exist, everything had to originate from a higher source of being, call it what you will, but it is necessary for all that we call existence.
