if you claim we decended from apes in a very slow and gradual process of evolution, how come we see millions of apes still alive but not ONE transitinoal species between us humans and apes still alive today?
Its kind of a coinsidence all the billions of species between us humans and apes (homoerectus, piltdown man, nebraska man... etc.) all went EXTINCT, not only did they become extinct: we can't even find a perfect fossil of the whole body structure..
Answer this contradiction.

Those intermediate hominoids are transitional. It's not going to be alive today because transitional species are where nature is trying out different ways to work in niches. Once you start specializing, it works BETTER, and then the ones that are kind of 'okay' at more things aren't good enough at the things they need to do to survive.
As for fossil transitions, the fossil record is nowhere near complete. In New England, the soil eats everything that's only 400 years old. Geology is the enemy of anthropologists.
And you know, reasonable believers understand evolution. Religion and science are not 100% incompatible.

Right, because we all know that the entire world is the exact same environment and the climate has never changed at all in the total existance of man and monkey.
We all come from one common ancester as the ape. The ape had a very good adaptation to it's environment, therefore there was no need to evolve much. See how easy it is for an ape to live in the jungle? From our line, the original adaptation wasn't enough for the environment it was living in, so evolution took place.

At this point I've stopped correcting people when they ask questions which show absolutely no knowledge of evolution. Research evolution and you will find that your questions don't even make sense.

Once again the ignorance as to Darwin's theory comes through! Darwin NEVER claimed that we evolved from the Ape, but that we had a common ancestor. Try asking an accurate question, then we might be willing to answer.

An atheist doesn't believe in God, that's it period.
If an atheist believes in evolution or not has nothing to do with it.
But any thing makes more sense than God.

Each succeeding evolutionary jump in the evolutionary scale by our ancestors found the previous form to be most delicious. The only reason that apes still exist after evolving from our common ancestor is that our ancestors were not able to eat them due to their evolutionary survival adaptations. As for complete remains of our ancestors, what does your thanksgiving turkey remains look like after they come out of the stock pot?

The apes evolved over millions of years to be what they are now, too. There are many varieties of primates, each from separate groups that split off. It's not like each variation was saved throughout the ages.

Because we didn't come from apes. Anyone that believes Science should believe what scientist are saying.
Scientific Proof of A God

Look at Mt. Rushmore and tell me that presidents are there by randomness. Anyone that would believe that would be a fool. And since the fact the univerese had a beginning means their is a not an infiite amount of possibilites that radomness could from the fine tuning of the universe. Besides DNA is coding that comes from intelligent design. Evolution is a theory. A blind theory, with no scienific proof.

That fish thing is a bunch of garbage. They use that same example everytime. Lol 1 piece of false evidence and they go wild. Just like Lucy was nothing but a 3ft tall champanze. Hardly scientific evidence.

We were a different species of ape from the ones you see today, they are our cousins, I don't know where you got billions of species from, put Lucy in your search engine and learn a bit
