If evolution is real why are there still apes?

Tinkerpeach said:
Science would say that we didn’t actually evolve from apes but that we both evolved from a common ancestor in a process that is essentially the genes of our common ancestor mutating into different forms leading to us and apes.

However the problem with this theory is that scientists cannot explain why the same genes would evolve on differing paths since the common ancestor was located in the same environment.

Another problem is that after that branching of genes from our common ancestors there is zero evidence of it ever happening again.

Statistically that would be an impossibility since if it happens once it should be an ongoing process.

So yes, after that split from the common ancestor each species evolved in their own way but never again did any species genes branch out again to create multiple new species.

There are many, many holes in the theory of evolution

The simple answer to your question is: All things do not evolve at the same rate.

Lemme guess; if a Trumpian fuckwit declared the Earth was flat, you'd be attacking anyone who didn't provide "one rebuttal to one point".

Evolution is well documented. If you're a young Earth creationist who believes all the evidence of evolution is the work of Satan, I can't help you.

The Theory of Evolution is NOT 'well documented'. It is also not a theory of science. It is a religion.
So is the Theory of Creation.

I thought the subject title was a sarcastic shot at that idiot GOP candidate Walker. Then I read the OP. :palm: Jeezus! Talk about an ass backwards attempt to justify the silliness of creationism.

Neither the Theory of Evolution nor the Theory of Creation are 'silly'. They really exist. They are both religions.

Sorry, but your joke of bad taste, doesn't explain why your DNA is a 96% match to a chimpanzee!

Argument from randU fallacy.

Life among different species has the same processes at work. DNA controls those processes.
They could indicate that they are genetically related, but it doesn't.
They could indicate that they are created that way using the same basic plan of life, but it doesn't.

If God is real, why are you so afraid to meet your maker?

Shouldn't you be more afraid that God exists and you blew God off with agnostic and atheist views and now standing before God you realize you are royally and totally fucked?

Now would be a good time for me to check. How's the "sock" angle working out for you?

Sock hunting is fun, but it's a subset of hunting mentally ill online participants like yourself, Sybil.

How's the paranoid schizophrenia angle working for you?
