A common rhetorical question from the creationist movement supporters is "If man evolved from monkeys, how come there are still monkeys?". Another common retort from them is "Evilution teaches man evolved from mud". Which of course begs the question, "If man evolved from mud, why is there still mud?". Or, to put it another way, "If man was created by god, why is god still around?".
