Apes and Man are two different species and there has never at anytime been a link between the two except in the minds of Atheist scientists and those who are feeble enough to believe in them, there should be millions of transitional forms covering the earth and yet none have been found to this day.

Close, but no cigar. Humans and great apes share about 99.9 % of their DNA; we didn't evolve from them - we evolved from a common ancestor.
I've never thought it was particularly awful to be related to a monkey; if you believe in creation, then you have to accept the notion that God made them, just as he made us. Whether he did it by creation or with DNA, we're all here and trying to make the best of it, and that's what it's all about, no?

Better yet, why are there no transitional phases taking place now from the common ancestor? Why hasn't man continued to evolve given the changing tide of our environment? Couldn't global warming necessitate or trigger an evolutionary change in man? What about the monkeys? Hmmm.

ok ,you have a common ancestor, it lives all over the island due to tectonic movement the land is split into seperate islands, over time one piece moves towards the tropics and the other towards the arctic, the animals going north survive better if they are able to conserve heat eg long thick fur is favoured, short fur results in death and is not passed on, they also need sturdy strong bodies to hunt food as there are less plants.
the ancestors on the tropic island need short hair to survive the heat, long haired animals die of in the heat, they also develop light bodies to climb trees to get to the tropical fruit, the ones who live longest breed the most, eventually none resemble the common ansestor.
even if both groups are put back together they will not recognise each other as the same species. none will be the same as the ancestor.
just like the common ancestor we share is not the same as us or as modern monkeys and apes.

Only a monkey will believe that man evolved from monkeys.
God created Adam and Eve and He created animals.

We didn't evolve from monkeys
We evolved from the same ancestor as monkeys - we went our way they went theirs
Please do some reading on evolution before asking such silly questions

I refer the the hundreds of times this question has been asked before.
The answer is we did not evolve from monkeys but a common ancestor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution

Does God have the appearance of a monkey? Do we pray to a monkey? Man was created in the image of God. God looks like us, and never took on the appearance of monkey's, apes or any of his other creations. Those who believe in the Theory of Human Evolution do not believe in creation, or God.

Well, given your premise is incorrect, demonstrating your great grasp of evolutionary concepts, I'd say from such well-educated folks such as yourself.

This is a very original question. I have read such a question on this forum alone no more than a hundred times. Perhaps you think it will somehow gain meaning if repeated repeatedly.
