Republican Evolution, Explained
At one time, science said man came from apes. Did it not?” [Herchel Walker, front-runner for the GOP nomination for US Senate] said while speaking to the lead pastor of Sugar Hill Church in Sugar Hill, Ga….
“If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Walker said, posing the question to Allen and the crowd.
Mock Paper Scissors 
Well, we didn’t evolve from the apes as so much as we evolved alongside them. The reason there are still apes around has to do with their success as a species. Not sure why we’re still around, but here we are…

Common ancestors – a scientific theory so widely accepted except for the “6,000 year old world made in 6 very busy days” crowd seems to be the most likely explanation. God bothers are sure taking their glorious plans for the theocratic state on a joy ride now that their fed society 6 are firmly planted on one of our coequal branches.

Jeebus. We evolved from cyanobacteria along with everything else. Might as well ask why is that stuff still around? Or fish what about fish? These tedious idiots lack imagination as well as an education.

I would attribute this to his clear and obvious CTE brain damage, but, no, this has been a standard creationist gotcha for decades.

Hershel Walker is a grown-ass man, but that exchange is so familiar as the kind of discussion of high school stoners while looking for seeds and stems in the old stinky green (or orange) shag carpeting in their parent’s basement.

The truly sad part is that if Hershel were not a MAGA cultist and a former football star, the same people who are supporting him, would suggest he looks no different from those monkeys and apes, and he doesn’t even realize it.

Asked and answered on network TV in January 1969 –
The episode is “Let That Be Their Last Battlefield” and he didn’t even get to “why are apes still here” before it was shot down as a mis-statement of the theory.
Also, chickens are still around as well as alligators, crocodiles and coelacanths. Having descendants does not prevent the original species from continuing. Having no current representative of a species around does not prevent the original species from continuing – it is still there in the so-called “junk DNA”.

Spectacular attempted distraction from what should be the real issues in the campaign. Watch the flat-earthers, creationists, and Evangelical knuckle-walkers take offense and blame the Democrats for politizing people’s religious beliefs. Besides, all videos are surely fake anyway, reich?

Well, for one thing a alligator mouth on a bird body is totally ineffective, as it is far to big for the nutritional needs of the birdlike body. Besides the mouth would out weigh the body. I doubt that that alligator bird could even walk let alone fly.
Just saying.
