If humans descended from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?

“Evolution doesn’t explain the existence of empathy or love.”

“Puppies are cute so clearly there’s a creator who cares about us.”

“There have been some faked fossils of human ancestors, so ALL the evidence for evolution is probably fake or could be explained by something else, but I don’t actually want to examine the evidence for myself because I don’t want to get duped/misled by nonsense.”

• "Evolutionists are racists, sadists, sexists, psychopaths, plagiarists."

• "Evolutionists refuse to consider supernatural explanations."

• "Historical and contemporary scientists believe in creation."

• "It is hard to imagine that any aspect of evolutionary theory would be true."

• "One problem with a scientific method causes the whole concept of evolution to collapse."

Humans did not descend from monkeys.  Humans, monkeys, and apes descended from a common ancestor which no longer exists (except in fossil form).

"Evolution is hard to understand, therefore it must not be true."

"Charles Darwin was a big sinner who wanted to take people away from God."

"Charles Darwin was the first person to come up with the idea of evolution."

"Evolution cannot be accepted by churches."

"Evolution implies that God cannot exist."

"There are disputes among scientists about how evolution occurs, therefore it must not be true."

The geologic layers of rock were laid down in Noah's Flood.

Some Creationists say that dinosaurs died in the Flood.

But some say that Noah rescued dinosaurs along with all of the other animals, and that dinosaurs continued to live alongside humans in historic times (but were called "dragons"), and didnt become extinct until a couple centuries ago...OR are still around (in Loch Ness, and in Lake Champlain).

It's like expecting an explosion to build a perfectly assembled 747.

Forgive me, o Ferret King!  I intended no grief for your person.
