I'm about half way through a book about sexual behavior and evolution. So, I am having a conversation with my brother about it and my cousin Luke is there. Luke is from a small town in Greece and was raised christian orthodox. He tells me he is a creationist and doesn't believe in evolution.
Fine by me, but I asked how all the evidence and basic logic of evolution theory can be so easily disgarded. Then he tells me he doesn't know what evolution is......only seconds after telling me the theory is wrong.
So, I explain evolution to him, slowly and patiently. And he tells me that the evolution theory applies to animals but not to humans because we were created by God and descended from Adam and Eve. Again, fine by me, but I naturally feel the need to point out that chimpanzees are like 98% genetically identical to humans. He brushes it off..
So as a joke say "Maybe the creationists are correct. After all, if we descended from 'monkeys', why are there still monkeys around?" Me and my brother laugh, but Luke looks at me and sincerely asks "but why are there still monkeys? How do you explain that?"

Oh I love this game the game where people argue over how exactly we came to be. I know your not argueing but damn people get fired up over the topic of evolution. Me I'm just glad I'm here. I think we all came from eggs,that's my theory.
