If Humans evolved from apes, then why are there still Apes?!
I know, i know: No Creationist is still making this argument, right? Wrong! Behold Donald Trump’s and Mitch McConnell’s candidate for the U.S. Senate from Georgia, football legend Herschel Walker. In a sit down with a pastor, Walker drops this truth bomb with an impish smile:
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? … If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it.”
Well god damn, Herschel! If dogs came from wolves, why are there still wolves?! 2022, folks! And creationists are still trotting out this tired old nag.
The Republicans think Black voters in Georgia will support this guy because he’s Black and played football. Except he’s running against a Black pastor whose last job was head of the same church Martin Luther King headed. Also, Walker has some serious mental health issues.
This demented segment of conservatism conserve everything, even bad arguments. They can't interact, because they are incapable of changing their minds when they are wrong. That why the freedom to preach is so important.
The short and sweet answer is we didn’t evolve from those apes. Different apes evolving at different speeds based in their chemical design and environment.
Indeed. We share a common ancestor. But even if we were direct descendants of chimpanzees, there's no biological law that demands that the ancestral lineage be go extinct for the descendant lineage to survive.
Technically I think it was chimpanzees, also I'm still waiting to here about how his wife was voting in GA it living in Tx. I haven't heard the outcome of that yet.
