Get the Monkey Skull mug.In creationism people believe that everything came in this Earth the way they are now, this claim has no scientific proof for it's self. Creationists like to think up weird examples to make their false belief, like "your cereal box will never randomly come out one day and put it's self in your bowl, and the milk won't either, even in millions of years." The question today is "If we came from monkeys, then why are there still monkeys?" this makes no sense, first off, we came from neither monkeys nor apes, we are just more related to modern day apes than monkeys, we split from the classic modern day apes about 7MYA or 7 million years ago. Second, all of them are dead, like the dinosaurs, mammoths and other life, everything goes extinct, they did to, and we may also, so don't ever say this in a sentence, and remember, we came from extinct ape ancestors.
