Turkey to stop teaching evolution to kids

Turkey will never join the EU

They would first have to give up Cyprus to Greece.

Then they'd have to overcome the permanent rejection and veto of France and Germany.
 
but if We evolved From Monkeys why are monkeys Still around????????

you mean apes not monkeys and the evidence is we shared a common ancestor with the current great apes.

the same way that lions, tigers and all the other big cats probably shared a common ancestor

Presume you're on the wind up,but if not:

Firstly, man did not evolve from monkeys (or modern apes). Man and modern apes share a common ancestor, which is extinct. However, the question comes from a flawed understanding of how evolution works. Evolution is not a straight line, where entire populations change into new species all at the same time. Often times, a small group breaks away from a population and begins to evolve independently of the source group. The source group does not need to go extinct, and is generally unaffected by the development of the smaller group. This is called "Allopatric Speciation," and it is just one of many ways that new species can evolve. There is nothing in evolutionary theory which states a source population must go extinct in order for new species to evolve.
 
Very much this. We have more evidence of evolution than we do of the theory of heliocentricity.

It's simply scientific fact.

Having said that, Turkey are now sending us cheap poultry so I can take it.

It just shows you the stupidity of religion and it fucking up generation after generation.

Still, cheap poultry.

Only probably?

This is just more evidence that Erdogan is doing his best to turn Turkey in a theocratic shithole. And yet more evidence that religion has absolutely nothing insightful to offer the world in the 21st century (I'd argue it didn't have anything particularly insightful to say in any of the other centuries either, but it's just more obviously wrong now).
