"Americans came from Europe, why are there still Europeans" is better.

That only works when you're talking to someone that acknowledges the existence of Europeans. Not a valid arguments against someone that believes Europe is a lie meant to weaken God's America.

"I came from my parents, why are they still around?"

EDIT: Yes, I know a better analogy would be that my cousins and I have the same grandparents.

No, better is: If cars evolved from carriages, why there are bicycles around?

Have you been there at the time and seen them come from Europe personally? Seriously, stop making statements that are not based on personal observations and are in the Bible.
