Please explain one simple thing to me. If we humans are evolved creatures from ancient monkeys, then why is there still monkeys? Would'nt they too have evolved into humans?

If you don't understand that, then you don't have a basis for rejecting evolution.

Think of it this way: new breeds of dog are developed all the time. Pit Bulls were developed from other terriers, yet there are still other terriers around. This is because the breeder took a few of the other terriers and bred from them. The other terriers continued to reproduce, and are still around. Or rather, their descendants are: they splintered into other breeds besides.

Likewise with humans: ONE particular group of monkeys developed in such a way as led to humans. All other groups of monkeys developed in different ways.

Please tell me you understand this very basic point now.

I am not a huge following of evolution but I never ask why there are still monkeys. I always thought that was a poor way to refuse evolution. I dont refuse it. I refuse those who use it to try to debunk a glorious God.
