Because life didn't start on

Because life didn't start on those rocks.  In fact, they were more "rock-like" then rocks really.

 Because your question

 Because your question makes no sense whatsoever, I respond with the following video:

Becuase you can't kill rocks

Becuase you can't kill rocks only metamorphose them to different types of rocks, well, they metamorphose on their own and their are only three types of rocks so the rocks we strated on more than liekly went through all three phases countless times already.

To drive your point a bit

To drive your point a bit closer, you may want to change the mockery to, "If life started from rocks...".

This has two benefits:

a) That's typically what creationists say anyway, I believe that's their way of saying it I could be wrong, so this mock-question will sound more like what they say

b) Your original trick parallels not what you think it does, but instead:

"If humans started out on monkeys, why are there still monkeys?", and obviously you want it to parallel instead:

"If humans started out from monkeys, why are there still monkeys?".

This would typically sound like I'm being too much of a grammar-bitch, but there is a good reason why I am emphasizing such an otherwise non-important mistake:

Your original comment is parallel to this as well:

"If humans started out on earth, why is there still earth?" You want to avoid this! I'm trying to think ahead of what some idiot may reply to your clever rhetorical question.

Evolving on something is quite different than evolving from something, and to say 'from' in your mockery of creationists really destroys their incorrect 'ladder' view of evolution, which I take is what you're hoping to accomplish. Hopefully, that makes sense... and isn't too much!

Did you write this just to see if someone would actually try to reason it out?

Because when we got our rocks off, we got off the rocks.

I concur.  Everything about her I hate, yet, she is all the more hotter because of it.  Also, like you, I did like her old stuff, and original look, yet, despite her going all blonde and pop-dumb, she is still way hotter, to me anyway, then  most female performers (I personally felt and still feel that Vanessa Carlton is the best looking of female performers as well as being an accomplished musical artist in her own right).

Not really.  Certain climates are developing grounds for certain types of rocks (of course most rocks require extreme heat to form, thus most rocks develop below the earth's crust) so there is no single variety of rocks.  Its more like all Rocks go through the same process of metamorphosis which can be caused by weathering.

Hay a thread about rocks

Hay a thread about rocks became about a rock princess

I prefer her old look. That's probably because I have a big thing for goth/metal girls,or punk at a pinch. Spikes and combat boots=hot.

Vanessa Carlton is quite nice though.

FORMER rock princess.  Now she is a (hot) Pop Bitch.

Exactly my point!  I perfer her old look much more than her current look, yet, I find her so much hotter.  I guess I see it as Avril reaching the first and lesser form of authentic despair according to Keirkegaard, "when in despair, not wanting to be one's self".  It is no coincidence that her look change coincided with her marriage to that Sum 41 punk (his eminent death is being planned as we speak).

She definately knows how to press on wood with grace and firmness Eye-wink

Sedimentary are formed from

Sedimentary are formed from pressure, Metamorphic are rocks that have morphed under mainly heat, but that heat comes from all the pressure, from one type of rock into a new one, and Igneous come from [Dr. Evil voice] liquid hot mag-ma [/Dr. Evil voice].

Sure . . .

I've only got a few with pictures.  But I have hundreds.  Been collecting them for almost 30 years.

This one is Lapis Lazuli from Afghanistan.  Lapis is a form of what used to be chalk half way to becoming marble.  Only one place in the world has the best lapis, and those mines have been continously worked for 6000 years.

This one is Malachite from the Congo.  Malachite occurs when a sulphur vein hits a copper vein.  Very soft stone.  Not as soft as soapstone, but still.

This next one was sold as Peacock ore.  That's not true though.  It's treated Bornite.  Real Peacock isn't this brilliant of a color.

Ruby in Zoisite.  I've also got a life size human skull shaped out of this stuff.

New Campo meteorite from Argentina.

And last but not least.  An Auchelian stone biface made and used by Homo Erectus .5-1.2 million years ago in Africa.  This one was found in the Sahara desert in Algeria.

The first night I had it I ran around naked with it and took out the neighborhood pets.  Then I cooked them in the middle of the cul-de-sac, ate them, and then tripped out on shrooms.

Is this a parody of the "if humans evolved from monkeys..." argument?
