Clay is still an incompetent — from a family of incompetents

Over at the hysterically misnamed In My Right Mind, genocide advocate Clay has chosen to advertise not only his own ignorance and incompetence, but that of his father as well:

This is a comment my father submitted to his local paper in response to the local school board’s decision to embrace the scientific theory of evolution whole heartedly:

Well let’s see now about this evolution thing. If man evolved from monkeys – why do we still have monkeys? Why is there no known link between monkeys and people? What am I missing?

This is a good point. It would be interesting to see what sort of response the pro-evolutionists would have to offer in explaining this obstruction to their water tight theory. And I should stress the work theory.

And I should stress that if Clay or his imbecile father had bothered to get off their collective fat asses and actually look for the facts, they would have found that this “argument” is so laughably weak that even creationists are cautioning their fellow ignoramuses against using it:

…[T]he main point against this statement is that many evolutionists believe that a small group of creatures split off from the main group and became reproductively isolated from the main large population, and that most change happened in the small group which can lead to allopatric speciation (a geographically isolated population forming a new species). So there’s nothing in evolutionary theory that requires the main group to become extinct.

The always-useful talk.origins archive puts it a bit more colloquially, but still makes the point:

If we evolved from apes, why are there still apes today?

Huh?? Scientists think that one group of apes, in response to their environment, started evolving in a way that would eventually lead to humanity (and many other now-extinct hominids). Why on earth should that cause the rest of the apes to go extinct? It’s as silly as saying “If I am descended from Irish ancestors [which I am], why are there still Irish people around?” (Yes, I’m aware that I haven’t evolved from my Irish forebears; the point is that whatever happened to my ancestors, it didn’t affect the rest of the Irish population.)

The answers are out there, Clay. You just have to stop protecting your ignorance at all costs.

Tell your dad the same.
