If the theory of evolution is that man evolved from a lower order of animals, namely monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?

I trust you are kidding. Right?

Just in case you're not, a) that's not what the theory of evolution states and b) your statement is also featured prominently on AIG's "Arguments creationists shouldn't use. I could expand upon my answer, but I'm fairly certain you were joking around.

You seem to rely on AIG's arguments alot. There is more than one website on the web. Not every one is the final answer on any subject. I was alive when Apollo 13 landed. I saw the scientists state they felt the moon dust would swallow the lander on TV with Walter Chronkite. Obviously they were wrong.

What I'm saying is the world of knowledge isn't owned by evo scientists. They have to change their stories minute by minute as the facts come in. To insist that everyone else is a knucklehead is just bigotry.

What I'm finding is science has been taken over by religious zealots and politics. An evo is every bit as religious as a catholic bishop. After Mt St Helens blew up, several scientists were sent there, grant money in hand for years, to study the recovery of the eco systems there. They opined on the healing process that would take decades if not 100 years. Well, the lakes healed and fish were back in in about a year and grass and animals returned in about the same time. They were sent home early because every thing they thought was untrue and the basis for the grant money was lost. They even commented on the canyon that was created in one day, if looked at years from now, would be thought to have taken millions of years to carve out had they not known the eruption did it in one day. Lakes disappeared and rivers changed directions in one short period. How can evo's( and climate scientists) know anything for certain if they can't even see what has happened right in front of them? How can someone know the Grand Canyon was carved out million of years ago? Just because a park ranger reads from a pamphlet? The truth is, if we could prove that it was carved out in a catastrophe 3000 years ago, they wouldn't change their story because it would cost to much to change the history books and it would damage their credibility after insisting it happened over "million's" of years. That's politics.

I watched the "Ardi" story and saw "science" made up on the spot and anyone could shoot holes in their "theory in 2 seconds, yet there it was on TV.

One person or group of person doesn't have the final word on anything. Beware of looking for proof to support what you think. One "Christian" site isn't the final word anymore than Dawkins is the final word for evo's.
