From Dust

March 22, 2012 By 15 Comments

It’s really embarrassing that we still occasionally have to deal with the question, “If humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?” It’s a nonsensical question. At least now there’s a useful rejoinder:

    Housekeepers have been asking this question for centuries.

    • Jer

      Good point. If dust comes from humans, then why are there still humans?

  • Gordon

    I don’t get how common ancestry can confuse people so much, have they no cousins?

    • UrsaMinor

      The argument is simplicity itself.

      “You claim that my grandmother was a Jones, but that’s impossible because I am a Smith. And you can’t explain how if Smiths are descended from Joneses, why there are still Joneses.”

      Any questions?

    If humanity came from god, why is there still a god?

      that one scores points

    If I am descended from Irishmen, then why are there still Irishmen?

    • trj

      Actually, there aren’t any true Irishmen.

      No wait, I’m thinking of Scotsmen.

        Lift up me kilts and what do you see
        Hanging three inches below me knees
        long as me arms and thick as me wrist
        with a knob at the end as big as me fist

        (Cited in defense of Scotsmen everywhere)

    Once upon a time another cow asked another dog: ‘Why have you not swallowed your trunk?’

    If dust needs god to become man why can it create bunnies by itself?

    • Paul

      anyone who has ever owned two bunnies know the answer to that.

      • Itarion

        But that doesn’t explain where the FIRST bunnies came from…

    Some graphic artist should re-make Michelangelo’s fresco with a chimp (or the Flying Spaghetti Monster) in place of god. That would confuse the IDiots.

    I never thought I’d say this, but it’s a pity I don’t know anyone stupid enough to say that. (At least I hope so. There are some in my life who could yet disappoint me.)
