Why are people still confused?

The theory of evolution in no way says humans are descended from monkeys, apes, or gorillas. Primates share a common ancestor, but that is not the same thing. Monkeys, apes, and gorillas as they currently exist are on the same evolutionary stage as humans.

Honestly, saying humans come from monkeys is like saying I am a descendant of my second cousin. We are related but not descendant. Get over it.

In most cases it's the blind leading the blind. If people would actually take the time to read and comprehend what Darwin's theory was, they wouldn't come off as idiots. It's amazing how many self proclaimed "enlightened" believers in evolution have no idea what they believe in. The look of amazement on their faces when told that it is about descending from an organism and not an actual chimp is priceless. And these are supposed to be the people who I agree with?

I've never tried impregnating a spider monkey, but based on most peoples understanding of evolution, it would seem like the thing to do.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me, can't get fooled again!

"Get over it" Three words used by countless egotistical snobs who feel only their opinion counts.

Well if you are wrong as anybody who believes evolution states we are descendant from monkeys should get over it.

All breathing creatures are descended from single cell life forms.

Evolution started long before dinosaurs, let alone mammals.
