Most also belive dinosaurs existed alongside humans and earth is at most tens of thousands of years old.

Ha! Those Fools.
Earth started on 4000BC, Turn one.
Spain appeared as DLC later.
It is known.

That's something that evolutionists have never been able to answer.
How can monkeys exist today if we evolved from them?

No think of it like like Hotwings. You could get your Hotwings with Onion Rings or with Fries. If you get it with fries maybe it'd be a Hotwings of Natural History & if you get it with fries it'd be a Hotwings of French Modern Art.
All we have so far are screenshots of museums with and without Dino bones out front. But they wouldn't be something you build with hammers. So it stands to reason they'd be a new dig site feature.
Well why do bacteria still exist if we evolved from them?
By the way I didn't come up with the monkey argument - you can find it here

Because we didn't. We share a common ancestor that is extinct today.
Humans did not evolve from monekys. We are the ancestors of pre-historic humans that lived as long as 2,5 milions years ago.

Did we?
It just seems kind of farfetched either way. Random mutations among individuals somehow manage to apply themselves across an entire species over several generations.
Maybe if the mutated individuals were the only survivors? I guess?
I'm pointing out that modern monkeys and humans evolved separately from the same common ancestor in Africa millions of years ago. So we're genetically similar but neither evolved from the other.

Man.... Firaxis needs to dump some new info / teasers on us soon! We are scraping for any little detail!
Any evidence or trace of that? Somewhere? And who was that our common ancestor? There are more mammals in the world. Did they evolve from the same ancestor?
But they do; they dump us with some dinosaurs' like teasers
For those who are making fun of Creationism, I do hope the game has actual live Dino DNA in the game.
You know, the stuff, that is considered impossible to have survived 1 million years under ideal conditions, let alone 65 million years. Lol.

How can Englishmen exist today if Americans evolved from them?
England does not exist. It is all a lie. All hail Hydra.

I feel that this has suddenly become very relevant to this thread:

Ooh! I didn't think of doing this comparison before: If the time since Civ V was released was stretched out to the time between 2016 AD and 4000 BC, then Spain would have been released at around 3750 BC.

You finally gave me a number I can understand.

As amusing as the salt would be over such a mechanic, I don't envision any major publisher actually daring to do it.
How something "seems" is an extremely poor measure. What matters is evidence.
Mutations are arbitrary, and a lot of them fail/make the reproductive fitness of the mutated organism inferior. Over extremely long periods of time better ones will outcompete inferior ones, but there are tons of noise factors/luck/etc.
There is no rule saying more competitive organisms need be the only survivors.
Where does the evidence point? We can observe mutations directly, both beneficial and not-so-beneficial. That doesn't mean the evolutionary model is necessarily accurate, but it models reality as we can observe it closer than other models so far.
More on topic: In gameplay terms a museum with dinosaurs in it is plausible regardless, because actual museums have such exhibits. The accuracy of the appearance of such creatures is, of course, questionable.
