I Like Grandpa Cheeta Better Than Dirt

A friend recently reminded me that one of the most common things creationists say to convince others of creationism is: “you really think your ancestor is a monkey?” Scientists have time and again pointed out that human does not come from monkey but a common ancestor. This explanation, though true to science, is not very convincing or even interesting. I would take the question at face value, since they tends to take things literally. It really is not so bad to have monkey as an ancestor, considering the alternative. Living in North American, creationists are usually Christian, so let us use they myth as an example. The Bible says that man was created out of clay. One can turn the question back at the Christians and asks, “you really think you are dirt?” That is not so nice, is it? At least a monkey is an animate object; and when a evolutionist baby eats dirt, he is not a cannibal. Let us not even think about the moral and sexual implication for potters. All things considered, monkeys are not so bad at all.
