First of all we did not come from monkeys we came from APES.
we share 98.8% of the genetic makeup as Chimpanzees. The reason chimps havent evolved is because they dont need to. their environment hasnt changed drastically enough for them to aquire new adaptations.
second you DO have a tail, its a very small bone at the end of our spines.
our tails disappeared because we no longer need them since we no longer live in tree tops.

Oh puh-lease!
If you would have said primates, you would have known "101" about your false religion. Apparently, you don't.
We also (again, apparently, according to your so called "science") share quite a few genes with pigs. Does that mean we can constantly walk around (and worse ) in our own poo?
Get a grip.
Psalm 81:10:
I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.

Strange, another evilutionist claimed we ARE still apes. And another said we evolved from a common ancestor. So what is it? You guys seem confused.

Nonsense. Let's see what two Ph.D level scientists have to say:
Quote:
While many evolutionists proclaim that human DNA is 98% (funny, you were claiming 98.8% -- looks like even evolutionists don't agree with you) identical to chimpanzee DNA, few would lie by idly and allow themselves to receive a transplant using chimpanzee organs. As a matter of fact, American doctors tried using chimp organs in the 1960s, but in all cases the organs were totally unsuitable. The claim of 98% similarity between chimpanzees and humans is not only deceptive and misleading, but also scientifically incorrect. (but that doesn't stop atheists from using it, right?) Today, scientists are finding more and more differences in DNA from humans and chimps. (but hey, don't let mere scientists stop you from your claims about science!) For instance, a 2002 research study proved that human DNA was at least 5% different from chimpanzees—and that number probably will continue to grow as we learn all of the details about human DNA (Britten, 2002).

I take my orders from Jesus H. Christ, supernatural born US citizen
Be wary of false Kumbaya Christians who use a highlighter and scissors to read the Bible. God wants us to read the lines, not between the lines. False Christians will go to Hell:
Matthew 7:22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
Matthew 7:23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.
Asking a Christian to prove God exists is like asking him to prove his phone rings because yours doesn't. Make that call yourself! Dial 0800-get-on-your-knees-and-pray.

Quite impossible. If we were monkeys at the beginning, there would be no written records becasue monkeys don't write. Therefore it would all be guesswork.
However, we DO have a written record and it's The Bible KJV1611 and that says we didn't come from monkeys.

"Wrong, poison kills you because God lets it. That's why Jesus promises that Christians can drink poison and not die "
hahahah oh man i seriously cant believe someone put this. im SO certain that if one of my Christian friends drank potassium cyanide, they would go through the same poison effects as an atheist because cyanide is a strong inhibitor of cellular respiration and blocking the cell's ability to perform oxidation phosphorylation. in case you don't know what that is, its the ability that cells have to produce ATP or in short "cell energy." jesus i doubt could save your cells from "starving to death"

If they do die, it's just proof that they weren't True Christians™.

in all seriousness, potassium cyanide will kill you in a small dose in approximately 45 minutes whether you are christian or not. modern medicine can prevent you from dying, not the power of christ.

Jim Jones was a cultist whose believers thought he was Jesus. That's not Christianity.
As for drinking poison to prove a point:
Luke 4:12 And Jesus answering said unto him, It is said, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
Deuteronomy 6:16 Ye shall not tempt the LORD your God, as ye tempted him in Massah.
Matthew 4:7 Jesus said unto him, It is written again, Thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God.
So I'm protected if I accidentally drink poison, I'm not protected if I say "oh yeah, well God, prove it!"
These people seem to do okay, although I am suspicious of Pentecostals.
I have handled snakes though, somebody had to get that rattler out of the yard before it hurt one of the dogs or the boys.

if you wanted those scriptures to prove a point you can drink poison, i see no correlation. and by all means, take heavy dose of arsenic. please prove me wrong that you will not die.
I have handled snakes though, somebody had to get that rattler out of the yard before it hurt one of the dogs or the boys.
so have other people who are a different religion or no religion. you arent special.

No those quotes were meant to point out that I am not to tempt God by purposely drinking poison to prove a point.
I noticed that you completely ignored the Pentecostals I linked to.

oh no i saw it alright. strychnine is a toxin yes, however, the pentecostals do not take the lethal dose to kill them. they take swigs of the stuff with a very low molarity (concentration). hell they even said one died. and ok, if you want to take those verses literally and not drink poison to prove a point fine by me; however, if an accident happens which they always do, and you are tampering with ammonia or carbon monoxide, you will die. end of story
also, many different religions handle snakes. some with fatalities just like the pentecostals. they all are no different

So anyways I don't know if we're still on the topic about tails with regards to evolution
Studies have shown that our proportionately large gluteous muscles are an analog to the purpose that tails serve for simians. For simians, their tail is a balancing mechanism that allows them to keep themselves upright when they are walking or are travelling through the tree limbs.
For humans, our gluteous muscles work in conjunction with our dorsal muscles to keep us erect.
You can look at a chimpanzee or a bonobo and see that their rear ends are just not as muscular as man's is.
As an aside - the same studies say that our super strong glutes are the reason why we are capable of such long endurance running

You have presented further proof that humans did NOT evolve from monkeys; the proof being in our backsides, so to speak. Glory!
