It's a 2017 tweet by Tim Allen.
Where it gets really funny is in the skeptical commentary (often by "scientists" or those who worship scientists) attempting to debunk any skepticism of evolution.
Moral of the story: do not question the faith of evolutionists - they get very anxious when you do.
well I'm not so sure... so just to play devil's advocate... if at some point an ape evolved to give birth to something closer to human, then they birthed a child even closer to man, then they became human... why do the intermediate steps not still exist? why do evolutionary lines always seem to cut off so abruptly? why would we NOT find intermediate steps between the 2 species being produced today?If you exist, why do you still have parents and cousins?
Seriously, that logic is idiotic.

and they all just happened to go extinct and stopped being produced.... why?The intermediate steps do exist. There’s lots of transitional fossils.

Nonsense - science IS faith, faith in the accuracy of your observations or the observations of others - and faith in how those observations are interpreted.What “faith of evolutionists”? Science does not rely on faith.
hhmmm that does not seem to compute when given every single species on the face of the earth and their supposed evolutionary lines. you would think at least SOME would have representative intermediate steps that could still flourish, at least as well as the original species does.Because other species were better suited to their ecological niche, likely the species that evolved from them.

We call those common ancestors.hhmmm that does not seem to compute when given every single species on the face of the earth and their supposed evolutionary lines. you would think at least SOME would have representative intermediate steps that could still flourish, at least as well as the original species does.
Transitional fossilized apes? I suppose they could exist.The intermediate steps do exist. There’s lots of transitional fossils.
Evolution happens to populations... not individuals.well I'm not so sure... so just to play devil's advocate... if at some point an ape evolved to give birth to something closer to human, then they birthed a child even closer to man, then they became human... why do the intermediate steps not still exist? why do evolutionary lines always seem to cut off so abruptly? why would we NOT find intermediate steps between the 2 species being produced today?
Can't have another REpublican black man in the Senate, huh?"Republican Senate candidate Herschel Walker cast doubt on the theory of evolution in recent remarks, saying the fact that apes and humans coexist disproves accepted science.
“At one time, science said man came from apes, did it not? ... If that is true, why are there still apes? Think about it,” Herschel said in an appearance at Sugar Hill Church in Georgia on Sunday.
“Now you’re getting too smart for us, Herschel,” lead pastor Chuck Allen responded.
Walker is currently the front-runner in the GOP contest to challenge Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.) in November. He’s a former NFL star who has the endorsement of former President Donald Trump, and he’s outspoken about his Christian faith."

If Walker win, Blackburn, Tuberville and Johnson can add a new voice to the Dummy Caucus.
Walker's statements proceeds from a false assertion. We did not evolve "from apes." Modern humans and modern apes do have a common ancestor that was ape-like but was an entirely different species to the apes that exist today.well I'm not so sure... so just to play devil's advocate... if at some point an ape evolved to give birth to something closer to human, then they birthed a child even closer to man, then they became human... why do the intermediate steps not still exist? why do evolutionary lines always seem to cut off so abruptly? why would we NOT find intermediate steps between the 2 species being produced today?
is condescension really needed in a discussion where I am questioning the source material? man's ability to learn and discover come from his ability to question the status quo.So is the problem that you don’t understand what natural selection is? Because it seems like you are totally ignorant of it.
now that is a fair point. perhaps that is the better question.Walker's statements proceeds from a false assertion. We did not evolve "from apes." Modern humans and modern apes do have a common ancestor that was ape-like but was an entirely different species to the apes that exist today.
As for species disappearance, I believe I'm correct in saying that there are far more species of plants and animals that have gone extinct than are alive today. So, statistically speaking, the bigger question isn't where have those species gone, but rather why are we still alive?
We need people who understand reality.Can't have another REpublican black man in the Senate, huh?

I am quite familiar with natural selection, but the again we did not push out the original species we came from with our advanced traits, so how did we push out all the ones between us and them?
Of course it's faith - unless you don't understand what faith actually is. Faith is the adherence to the rules and principles of something to which you've come to believe, however such belief came. You are being faithful to your belief in evolution right now, defending it as you are.No faith involved at all. In fact, independent verification and the extensive use of non-subjective methods weeds out any need for faith.
