(Someone mentioned that there is no proof that the Bible is the word of God.)
The same could be said about this doctrine written by atheist which has no consistency at all. Do we come from monkeys, a Big Bang or monkeys mating with fish which is it? If we evolve from apes how is it that some apes missed out on this opportunity. Did they opted out on this and decided to stay in the jungle? And why are we not evolving now. By now we should have wings or something or did Evolution have a cut off. Maybe my faith in God must have blinded me. I will visit the zoo today and gain wisdom from the apes there have to be an answer in the poop they fling at each other.

Cosmology =/= Biology
...and as your 'Word of God' has two contradictory creation stories, I doubt you - or your 'God' - are one to talk about consistency .

Meanwhile, the Church of England can see just fine , thanks.
"I will visit the zoo today and gain wisdom from the apes there have to be an answer in the poop they fling at each other."
I think you probably should. You don't appear to have acquired wisdom from anywhere else. Give it a go!

The Bible and consistency are like oil and water. Genesis 1 versus Genesis 2. And not to mention, 1 and 2 Chronicles, which contain most of the same stories and general layout of stories elsewhere in the Bible (mostly 2 Samuel and 1 and 2 Kings), but change a TON of the details.
You know, I've always believed that if there is a greater being, that it is above the kinds of petty bullshit that the human race likes to throw at each other. It takes minds that desire control over other men to dream up the idea of an omnipotent Creator, and then claim that he's motivated by the same emotions as a human would be.
"And why are we not evolving now. By now we should have wings or something or did Evolution have a cut off."
Why? evolution gave us large brains and fingers, we invented air travel in a few tens of thousands of years which is pretty quick in evolutionary terms. If evolution was anthropomorphic and wanted us to fly then giving us large brains and fingers to invent aircraft is probably quicker than adapting our physiology for flight, good shortcut.
@DarkPhoenix :
If there is an omnipotent being who created our universe. A cursory look at the universe indicates life doesn't particularly interest him..but circles and spheres certainly do.
"Maybe my faith in God must have blinded me."
Now you're getting close.
"I will visit the zoo today and gain wisdom from the apes there have to be an answer in the poop they fling at each other."
You're going to the Trump/Cruz debate? You won't find any wisdom there, only ape shit.
It's telling that anytime a Creationist/Biblical Literalist pipes up they always, always, always use the same arguments. Those of us opposed to such foolery at least try to approach the problem from a new angle once in awhile.
Therefore, I'm calling it. Anybody that tries to claim that these are arguments are a "debate" that is being worked out by people with equally valid points of view, I will concede their premise for the time being and then point out that if any side is being "intractable" it sure as hell isn't mine. Ergo the premise falls flat on its face and they must concede the point for all time.
If they wish to continue the conceit that their arguments have equal validity to ours then they must be willing to submit them one by one, to scrutiny. If they refuse, then they are being intellectually dishonest in which case they have no cause to complain if we concede their point for them on their behalf.
Do we come from monkeys, a Big Bang or monkeys mating with fish which is it?
We are descended from primates, which in turn are descended from other mammals, which are descended from reptiles, which are descended from amphibians, which are descended from fish, which are formed of matter created during the Big Bang. 'Monkeys mating with fish' is nonsense invented by people deliberately trying to muddy the issue.
If we evolve from apes how is it that some apes missed out on this opportunity.
Because they did not mutate in the right way at the right time.
And why are we not evolving now.
We are; we're just doing it slowly and under different constraints due to our species' behaviour.
By now we should have wings or something
In order for wings to develop, a group of humans would need to mutate to gain a feature which could develop into wings, and this feature would need to give them an evolutionary advantage. Those conditions have not and most likely cannot be fulfilled, thus, no wings.
Which doctrine written by what atheist?
We do not come from monkeys, they are our cousins. We come from apes, and are great apes.
All species are evolved to fit their niche in nature. When niches change, species evolve to fit the new version.
We are evolving now.
Our brains made us invent aeroplanes, so we don't need wings.
You could just sift through the shit you have flung around you here...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
