Message 46 Engineer states (edited to ask just the question of evolution):
speciation. It possibly resolves some of the dilemmas of the ark. So I ask how the new world apes got to the ark from south america, but the theory of evolution is challenged with the same problem.
Why is this a problem for evolution Engineer?

The origin of monkeys on the continent of South America is a matter of much current debate. Given the isolation of South America for a large time during the Tertiary Period, the question of how the monkeys reached the continent may be difficult to answer. The two most likely places of where platyrrhines originated from are North America and Africa, Antarctica being a third place would be difficult to discern because of the difficulty in finding fossils in such a harsh land.

Primates are remarkably recent animals. Most animal species flourished and became extinct long before the first monkeys and their prosimian ancestors evolved. While the earth is about 4.54 billion years old and the first life dates to at least 3.5 billion years ago, the first primates did not appear until around 50-55 million years ago. That was after the dinosaurs had become extinct.
Are you implying that not having a complete answer means the theory is invalid?
Enjoy.
