If humans came from the dirt, how could we have also come frome monkeys. Think about it.

Declining for the moment to present a proper rebuttal of the several inaccurate premises contained in that short post, let me just ask that you reread that first word you just wrote there, Pats. We'll wait while you let its meaning soak in.

I've thought about it, Pats, and I've decided that humans being made from dirt is absurd.
And, for the umpteenth time, those of us who believe in the ToE do not believe humans are descended from monkeys *or* dirt.
Doesn't Hovind use an appeal to pride along the lines of "do you want to be descended from an ape?" Realizing the he believes that humans came from dirt just makes it all the more ironic.
That being said, we all know (and if Pats reads this, he will), that we did not come from dirt, and we are not the result of the Theory of Straw Man Evolution. If Pats would like to know about evolution, (the REAL ToE), I can recommend my college. (Even though I'm not into biology.)
you are perfectly happy to believe we came from dirt,
but coming from monkeys is just way to far out for you?
let me put it another way:
The jump from dirt to human is more plausible then a jump from monkey to human?
or another way:
we have more in common with dirt then we have with monkeys?
or:
Human DNA match with monkey over 98%
Human DNA match with dirt, about 0%
mmm.. actually, having said all that - you are right!!! (all you need is one small amendment)
dirt ---> evolution ---> humans
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
