I firmly don't believe anybody is a true atheist. They may choose to reject the truth (that Jesus is the way), but who made who. If we came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?

Monkeys are cool.

I find that most self-proclaimed atheists are actually agnostic like myself. It's just that atheism and Satanism are seen as being as far from Christianity as possible, and when the bigotry, flawed logic, and hatred of Christianity drives people away from your God they think that's the best place to be. Some hold onto their loathing far longer than necessary, and lack the courage to stand firmly in their own courage and self-discovery. They are usually easy to pick out on YA.
Why are there still monkeys? Why are monkeys not indigenous to America? Why are 90% of poisonous things all from Australia? Why don't we get tsunamis in Colorado? Your questions may sound pretty to you, but they do not have a point and do not prove the existence of God.
As an agnostic I accept that there are many things that I will never understand, but something I do know is that "God" does not exist.

Wow.
1. We didn't come from monkeys. We and primates were evolved from the same ancestor, millions of years ago. Do some research on evolution before dismissing it.
2. I am a true atheist. I have never doubted my lack of theism, not once, not ever. Theism is as illogical to me as finding out all people have invisible arms growing out of their torsos. It just isn't believable.
3. I firmly believe no one can truly believe, in the depths of their subconscious, in something as illogical as a personal god. I can get deism. That makes some sense. However, the idea of the god as described in the bible will never be convincing or logical. It is impossible for you to believe the things you likely claim to. There are claims in the bible no rational person would believe, as well as several mentions of a promise from Jesus that all prayers of true believers would be granted (see godisimaginary.com for the actual scripture.)

I'm sorry,but I have to contradict you. You just can't count faith in liters or gallons.
As for your second question, my response is that a book can not be evidence for something. Like Darwinism has concrete evidence upon what,why,when happened. Evolution doesn't mean that the ancestor extinct. As an example, computers evolve towards to be better and better,but still there the older version of them. These still exist. It doesn't matter that there are hi-tech laptops on the market,for instance I'm using an old PC, Pentium2.
Was that a good answer for you?! :)

Christians and Athiests are like apples and oranges friend. While Christians rely heavily on faith, Athiest rely on scientific facts and logic. They believe more in what is tangible, can be proved, or seen with the eyes. I fail to see how this relates at all with faith.
For instance:
A man fully recovers from being critically injured due to a car accident.
-Christians will believe that "God" had pulled him through, all of their prayers were answered, or Jesus healed him. A pure example of faith.
-Athiests believe it was excellent medical care, the right medications, and top-notch equipment. A pure example of logic.

Biological evolution, simply put, is descent with modification. This definition encompasses small-scale evolution (changes in gene frequency in a population from one generation to the next) and large-scale evolution (the descent of different species from a common ancestor over many generations). Evolution helps us to understand the history of life.

Well its simple because they have no need to adapt, read up on evolution will you? There are tons of evidence around you, do you really think that millions of biological scientists would believe we came from monkeys and never asked the themselves the same question? They have, and it is answered you just never bothered to read it or find the answer.

I also have be arguing the same thing for years. Why were some left behind? We will never get it in to the brains of non believers because they are closed to Jesus. Jesus can only change us once we accept him and the Holy Spirit into our lives and souls. This they do not know or else they would not be so bitter and what they think is witty. I only wish they could experience the peace and happiness we know. It would knock their socks off.

Are you blind and stupid or have you not noticed that there are MANY species of monkeys. They can fit into the palm of your hand or they can crush you with one swift blow. They're all over the planet in many shapes and sizes.
Have you ever stopped to think that humans are just another species, evolved in intelligence further then any other species.
No, that's stupid of me to say. You obviously prefer not to stop and think. Your bible thinks for you.

"if we came from monkeys then why are there still monkeys?"
I think you need to read up more about evolution. It doesn't say we came from monkeys. It says we have a common ancestor. There's a big difference. The rest of your question is strictly an opinion.
