scientists believe that we evolved from rocks!! now don't try 2 tell me otherwise because if not, then where do monkies come from?

Strictly speaking, those first organic chemicals that formed the first amino acids (See Miller Urey experiment, etc) that eventually progressed to various other interacting and eventually replicating chemical structures that led eventually to cellular life, which then evolved into multicellular life, probably did come, at least in part, from various inorganic minerals and rocks eroded by some solvent (very probably rain, river and seawater) whilst supplied with copious thermal and maybe electrical energy.
The thing is, it sounds less plausible if you leave out those various steps and go straight from a bunch of inorganic minerals and energy to evangelical ministers and other primates.
It's no different from, say, the theory of relativity in the sense that if you just state its effects to somebody (rocks to investment brokers for the former; mass-energy equivalence, time dilation, curved, 4-dimensional spacetime, the absolute constant speed of light for different inertial frames and other weirdness for the latter), they'll think it's bunk, but if you set out the axioms and observations and work through the logic and equations step by tedious step, it's perfectly clear.
I think The Monkees were from right here in Los Angeles...
My mother wasn't a rock, not even a rock star, or a rock lobster, but my pappy was a rolling stone. If he'd been a Rolling Stone, maybe I'd be rich today...
it's true, 'cos we've got rocks in our bodies: nice white calcium carbonate ones.
well it's as good as a response as the proposition is as a proposition
Monkies come from rocks??? WTF
Fair enough, now you have to explain what a monkie is and how they evolved from rocks and how we evolved from monkies, plus [citation needed]
But don't Creationists believe that God created Adam from dust? And that is different and less ridiculous than rocks how?
And what is it with this "we evolved from rocks" thing? Where on earth did he/she get that idea?
And how does pointing out that the whole "evolved from rocks" thing is ridiculous have to do with monkeys?
The first sentence is just stupid. I understand what he/she is saying, it's just wrong. The second sentence . . . I don't even know how to make senes of it. I see the words, but I can't bring them together in any way that makes any kind of sense.
Also, refusing to capitalize the first letter of each sentence, using multiple exclamation marks, using 2 instead of to and spelling the word monkeys "monkies" is not going to endear yourself to the reader.
Citation seriously needed for that belief. It sounds more like you have been listening to Hovind the Jailbird.
What does rocks have to do with "monkies"? We and monkeys share a common ancestor, somewhere way back in history, a few milion years perhaps. Then it split up in monkeys and apes, and then it split up in other apes and human/chimpanzees, and then it split up in humans and chimpanzees. Now it seems to have split up in intelligent humans and fundies.
"scientists believe that we evolved from rocks!! now don't try 2 tell me otherwise"
I will tell you otherwise:
You Cre(a)ti(o)nists believe that your magic sky wizard took a lump of dirt and made a man from it.
Do, or do not. There is no [i]try[/i]. [/Yoda]
I find your faith disturbing.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
