Nothing's more tiring on these Crevo threads than having to debunk the same tired, ignorant, wrong ideas and beliefs of evolution, like this whole "why are there still monkeys?" tired argument that creationists always try to make.

I've whittled that one down to, "for the same reason why there shall always be an England, even though America "came from" England." (But that analogy may require too much thought for some. :-)

There are other ways to deal with it; but none will succeed with the people who think the "monkeys" question is an evo-killer:

1. If you have tall kids, why are you still short?
2. If you have any kids, why are you still hanging around?
3. If we are created in God's image, why is there still God?
