Can you people who do not believe G-d please tell me what you think happened to the creature between monkeys and humans. Do you think monkeys and humans were smart enough to survive, but that the creatures in the middle of the evolutionary prosess were just to dumb to make it. Or did evolution just "jump" from monkeys to people. I really seriously want to know what you think happened. Thank you in advance for your answers.

I believe in God, but I also believe in evolution. As to your question they became christians.

Evolution never jumps from one species to another, but since not every creature that ever lived turns into a fossil, there are not fossils for every step along the way. Despite that, there are a number of fossils that show the stages along the way as humans became less and less like chimps and more and more like modern humans. At some stages there was more than one species of hominid creature alive at the same time, and scientists are not necessarily sure which of those we are decended from.
As for why the species "in between" monkeys and humans did not survive into the modern era - the most likely reason is that they were out-competed. Creatures that were kind of like chimps got out-competed and killed off by chimps, and creatures that were more like humans got killed off by modern humans. This is almost certainly what happened to the Neanderthals, for instance.
Oh, and just a last thought, why do you believe it is not possible to believe evolution and to believe in God? It may not be possible to believe evolution and to take the bible literally, but it is certainly still possible to believe in God.

Why are evolutionists in such desperation to locate a non present intermediate link ? because the concept of evolution is between the cornerstones of atheism. promoting it casts doubt on the reality of the Bible. they trust, and rightly so, that if even one element of the Holy be conscious will be "shown" pretend then the Bible, in its entirety, will cave in. Ain't not at all gonna ensue. Why? because the Bible is reality. era. a million Corinthians 3:19 (NKJV) 19 For the expertise of this international is foolishness with God. For it really is written, “He catches the sensible of their own craftiness”; BTW: it really is suitable to ask medical questions in R&S at the same time as they're directed in the route of matters that are many times used to both refute or promote non secular concepts. God Bless You!

You do know that most of the species know today, we can not find a fossil of... you do know that right?
Some kind of catastrophic event must happen for something to get fossilized.
Finding a Fossil of anyone creature is rare.
Most creatures don't live in bad places for this to happen.
Their bones and flesh get eaten away by the environment.
And how do you not know they didn't find one.
If you were a Bible freak wouldn't you hid it?
Sure you would.
It would cause chaos around the world.

How one formulates a question invariably shapes the answer. I find it fascinating that an argument can often be resolved by rephrasing the question in such a way as to eliminate the unspoken biases that restrict our thinking.
Consider this: A magician's "magic" is mostly misdirecting the audiences' attention so that they do not notice what he is really doing.
Similarly, questions can misdirect our own attention so that we fail to find an answer.
So my question to you is: Are you genuinely searching for an answer to this mystery or just wanting to argue?

We are well aware that there is something missing in between hence the name The Missing Link we may find it someday we may not depends on how deep we'll have to dig I guess

You have got it totally wrong as usual.
Men and monkeys have a COMMON ANCESTOR. One did not derive from the other they took different evolutionary paths.
The commom ancestor is the one who is no longer with us simply because he evolved into something else..
Can you understand that?

If you are serious about wanting to know the evolutionary theory here is a good web site. http://www.mnh.si.edu/anthro/humanorigins/ha/a_tree.html
Most people's faith in God does not depend on denial of scientific evidence in biology, anthropology, physics, history, etc.
