How should one respond to the question; "If we came from apes why are there still apes?"
If you're descended from your parents, why are your parents still alive?
Also, "Does DNA evidence show that evolution can't happen?"
No, DNA evidence supports the ToE.

It has always struck me as odd that fundies devote so much time and effort into trying to find a naturalistic explanation for their mythical flood, while looking for magical explanations for things that actually happened. -- Dr. Adequate

Re: is IQ165+ real or a joke?
Of course, we're just relying on his own claim of 165 I.Q. I certainly see nothing in his post to support that claim.
I vote for real joke.

Howling about evidence is a conversation stopper, and it never stops to think if the claim could possibly be true -- foreveryoung

Re: is IQ165+ real or a joke?
The problem with IQ tests is their inability to test innate intelligence. IQ tests can only measure how intelligently someone thinks using the knowledge they have.
His link works, so we'll give him 15 points for a final IQ of 60.
I believe there are other, deeper problems with IQ tests. I don't think they test for things like artistic and creative ability, for one thing. And I'm convinced that there is intelligence of some sort involved in both of these things.
Assuming I'm correct, and if you're feeling generous, I propose adding 15 for the creativity displayed in the formatting style.
