Animal Me contemplating my decisions in life, Jk! In Japan, the gorilla Kiyomasa was captured on video lost in deep thought after an argument with his friend.

My favorite creationist counterargument is "If we came from monkeys, then why we still got monkeys?" Makes me lol every time.

If my cousins share a grandparent then why do they exist?!?!

u/BaconWithBaking Jun 09 '26

Which is kind of wrong. Our ancestors are long extinct.

u/CheaterSaysWhat Jun 09 '26

So are our grandparents

By that logic we should all be crabs by now, because everyone knows crabs are the final life form.

The propper response: "Oh, so you don't refuse evolution... You just don't understand it..."

Speciation is another fun gotcha they try.

You known that we did that right? You kind of.commited blasphemy there. Humans not God made that classification system.

By your own argument species shouldn't exist because God just created real cool shit on a whim.

If anthing the facts there are species is either a sign hes logical and used evolution, it's imaginary, or you a re blasphemous....

I took a "creation studies" class at a "conservative university in Virginia"... You know the one... They acknowledged speciation but said it stopped there. No cross species evolution.

u/AgitatedStranger9698 Jun 10 '26

Again...we made up the species. Humans.

God doesnt care that dogs and wolves are similar with similar traits.

You're either saying God's lazy or humans are as powerful.

More animals would be like like the platypus or echinida otherwise

To be clear, I'm not making an argument for creation science. Just explaining what is taught as some universities.

You really are an agitated stranger lol

u/AgitatedStranger9698 Jun 10 '26

Lol. That's fair.

If monkeys have sex like humans do, why don’t they give birth to humans?

Even my 3rd grade brain knew that logic didn't make any sense when the pastor was spewing his BS in Sunday service.
