“To which O’Donnell rebutted, “Why aren’t monkeys still evolving into humans?”

From a scientific perspective, it's a legitimate question. If selective pressure favors the development of a specific evolutionary lineage, why do the ‘less fit’ members of this lineage persist? There are answers to that question, but her question was not a ‘stupid’ one.

You're going way above her head with that answer! She's still looking in the mirror wondering why she can't be sweet-faced, too.

I’m waiting for monkeys to fly out of the
NYTs’ collective butt.

Yeah, just how does the theory of evolution explain Bill Maher?

And there was nothing in O’Donnell’s answer about in front of her eyes.

You would think that they’d find 100 missing links by now, right? Darwin was 19th century, right? And every tiny little variation should’ve been documented by now right?

I’m not an expert on this, but I would think that they’d be able to show each any every chromosomal quirk, mutation which caused an old monkey to turn into a new human. Each step, a fossil.
