Every time I hear someone ask, "Why, if we evolved from monkeys, are there still monkeys around?" I feel like hitting the wall with my head. This infographic explains why that's the wrong question far more patiently than I do (and might be boiled down as "Why, if all of my many cousins and I are descended from Great-Great-Grandma, are they still alive?").

"We didn't evolve from monkeys; we evolved with them" – keeping that one handy.

How about a few scientific questions for evolution?

The questions raised in the post are nothing particularly new. I'll wait to see what happens when someone actually looks at the scientific articles cited to see what they actually say on the subjects.
I will say that every time I've seen a laundry list of objections to the principles of evolution raised, they've been pretty handily disposed of.

I found the articles on epigenetics to be especially interesting.
I also find it interesting that we share genes with unrelated organisms that we do not share with related organisms.
These are valid questions that are still being actively researched. They are not propaganda. They won't be "handily disposed of" through debate.
