Humans Did Not Evolve From Monkeys. This Is Where Christians And Even Atheists Go Wrong In Describing The Course Of Evolution. Humans Evolved From Ape-like Creatures And Share A Common Ancestor With Monkeys.
It annoys me greatly that supposedly intelligent people still believe that we evolved from monkeys. Christians even use it as an argument against atheists, asking 'if we evolved from monkeys then why do monkeys still exist?' Well we did NOT evolve from monkeys we share a common ancestor with them. Anyone see what I'm saying?

All I want to know is what came JUST before Cromagnum man or modern man.
I see evidence of modern man and I see creatures that resemble big foot, but smaller. That's a pretty big stretch for me.
Don't give me neanderthal, that already been proven to NOT be in our line. To me that would have been a good choice, but scientist ruled them out.

WE ARE GREAT APES! We are, in all actuality, in the same family as Gorillas and Chimpanzees- in fact, their is solid argument for us to be in the same Genus. We didn't evolve from "monkeys"- but some of us still act like one!

I won't even try to begin counting how many times I’ve explained this very same scenario to people in the past.

I can see quite clearly what you are saying, and it's the truth. "We evolved from monkeys" has only ever been said to make it easier for people to understand. We evolved from a primate. Not a monkey, gorilla or orangutan, just an unnamed primate posessing ape-like qualities: Bipedal, large cranuim, apposable thumbs etc. It makes me laugh when people use that argument against evolution. I laugh at you if you've ever used that argument.

I agree if we evolved from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?

 Did you read this debate's description at all or are you just being sarcastic? I really hope it’s the latter of the two.

It's pathetic to see how ignorant many people are to use that kind of strawman argument, yet we see it every day. Christians, in particular fundamentalist Christians, are purposely ignorant and uneducated regarding evolution because they don't want anyone learning about it. Reality gets in the way of their religious fantasy lives.

This is true and anyone who does not accept this is just plain stupid.

I don't think any are true it makes no sense that we came from monkeys or apes.

 A lot of things within science seem incomprehensible to people who are not used to experiencing such things in everyday life. I’m sure that the thought of a super massive black hole hundreds of thousands of times more massive than the Sun being at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, that is approximately 100,000 light years across, sounds very unbelievable to people who are not familiar with cosmology as well. Simply because you can’t understand how something could have happened is not a plausible reason to reject its validity.

You know what i would not even try to go against scientists when it comes to evolution you ask them they'll stump you and in a debate to so just be quiet about this okay trust me they will stump you in a debate about this. Just look at it this way they got proof and you got opinion so its like fact V. Opinion.

 Please see the debate "If You Can't Make A Meaningful Contribution To A Debate, Then Don't Post."
They're talking about people like you. It would seem that evolution has halted progress with you. You still possess the brain of our tree dwelling ancestors.
