Our ancestors are monkeys, if you say so answer these questions...
1) why did (and how did) monkeys lost their feathers?
2) why did monkeys start walking upright? (even it is a disadvantage for them)
3)why did (ofcourse how did) they start talking?

1) Monkeys lost their feathers by getting plucked by Jesus, of course.
2) Satan kicked monkeys in the balls, and they used their hands to hold their injured groins.
3) Monkeys started talking because God revealed to them that you would someday write this post, and they realized they'd better figure out how to let you know just how stupid you are, and they figured flinging poo just wasn't enough, this time.
Ok first question....monkeys don't have feathers, but we do have hair and tails(in the womb, cut off at birth)
second question.....it helped the see farther and gave them the ability to carry and throw things (monkeys in the zoo can stand to)
third question..... they do talk but we don't understand it, we made rules and forms for ours to help us learn ours, different rules and forms means different ways of talking (accents, diolects and languages)it's like russian and japanese you can't understand the other without being taught it and we can't learn their's and they don't want to be involve with humans so we can't talk, except if we teach them sign language
This guy kinda has a point. I mean, Darwin's theory of natural selection indicates the brightest would make it in the world, and the hopelessly stupid would die out.
So, as long as this guy is alive, I'm afraid Darwin's theory has a problem.
1) Holy stupid
2) Works for them, Apes on the other hand are better at upright and an Orangatang with human intellect could do what any human could (Since he's stronger he'd do somethings better)
3) Animals talk. A lot of Mammals recognize human speech and connect meaning to our words. Any animal that makes sound has vocal messages
Uh... Feathers?
Oh... Fundies!
No, we say that our distant ancestors had cousins that were distant ancestors of today's monkeys.
No animal would start walking upright if it was a disadvantage to it. If it did, that would go AGAINST evolution.
You see farther if you stand up, you reach higher, you can carry things in your arms while walking. Walking upright has several advantages.
A few apes have been taught sign language, and are capable of discussing such existential issues as death, dying and dead individuals.
Talk probably started as warning shouts. Over time the warning shouts became more and more sophisticated; it was much more efficient to shout "warning: lion" or "warning: snake" instead of just "wraaaah".
Necessities is indeed the mother of inventions.
1) why did (and how did) monkeys lost their feathers?
Birds and mammals diverged long, long ago. primates had no feathers to lose. Both are most likely an extension of scales, though.
2) why did monkeys start walking upright? (even it is a disadvantage for them)
Because bipedal motion frees up our hands to use tools more efficiently. Our biggest evolutionary trait is our intelligence, and ability to use tools...that's just an extension of it.
3)why did (ofcourse how did) they start talking?
Always. Just because they don't speak English does not mean they don't communicate.
They lost the feathers around the same time as the beak...---
Wait, wait, wait...
What the fuck?
...Can I buy pot from you?
1. They didn't, we still have them and molt at puberty. I still have mine. What did you do with yours ?
2. It makes it easier to hail a cab.
3. Nothing good on TV that night.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
