why do some people suggest evolution? If we evolved from apes or monkeys, why do they still exist?

Because we once had tails????

No one ever said we evolved from monkeys/apes. Evolution says we have a common ancestor and your obvious ignorance on the subject shows you are just repeating the propaganda you have heard.

The tail bone, or coccyx, does not mean that we had tails. Regardless of the common term for it (even though an argument that "tail" bone would imply "end" bone), the coccyx serves as an important anchor for muscles. We would not be able to stand up straight without it. God bless!

Actually, tail bones are not vestigial, and have nothing to do with evolution. That bone is critical anchor point for many muscles, and a lot of nerve endings are there, which is why it hurts so much when you injure that area.

The coccyx (Latin: os coccygis), commonly referred to as the tailbone, is the final segment of the human vertebral column, of three to five (usually four) fused vertebrae (the coccygeal vertebrae), below the sacrum. It is attached to the sacrum in a fibrocartilaginous joint, which permits limited movement between them. The term coccyx comes originally from the Greek language and means "cuckoo," referring to the shape of a cuckoo's beak. The spine has to have a top and a bottom. The head is the top, so the coccyx is the bottom. How would you end the spine without a coccyx?

Yeah, the tailbone is exactly what its name states. The bone of a tail. We used to have tails, but evolution has caused a disappearance of the tail.

that is not really tail bones but a bones of the hips for you to use in sitting down. How can you set without that bones? use your head, your intelligent thinking or mind.

We aren't! You have been evolutionised. That's the coccyx, the end of our spine. To call it a tail bone is to mislabel it. Nothing in it even remotely hints of any function of a tail.

"The tail bone isn't where your monkey tail used to be, as Darwinians believe, but it instead provides support for the muscles which control elimination"
-James L. Melton
Elimination in this sense of the word means excreating human waste from the body
So basically, it keeps you from pooping in your pants, but if you don't want I'll pay for you to get it removed

It's a vesti...something Don't remember the word exactly. We believe it is because we evolved from something that used to use it, we just never got rid of it.
Whales have a pelvic bone even though they obviously don't have legs. We have appendages

with the theory that we evolved from monkeys and apes, it totally blasphemes the bible
