It is impossible to create life from inanimate matter.

Not only is this an unsubstantiated assertion, but even if true it has no bearing on the theory of evolution, as the theory of evolution does not address life originating from inanimate matter.

the absence of transitional species today, (if it was happening before, it would still be happening today) ie, monkeys would still be evolving to apes, and apes would still be evolving to man....... it's just not there.

Curious that you say this. Why would you expect to observe monkeys "evolving into apes" today, especially within a timeframe observable within a human generation? What selection pressures exist to cause such a shift?

the absence of trans species fossils.

I am afraid that you are mistaken on this point.

Are you saying that evolution doesn't say man evolved from "primordial ooze". This statement is taught in schools as part of the theory of evolution, having been presented in every school in which the theory has been taught me. This statement by you, is to coin your own phrase, "A shameless lie".

"Curious that you say this. Why would you expect to observe monkeys "evolving into apes" today, especially within a time frame observable within a human generation? What selection pressures exist to cause such a shift? "

You mistake my statement, the statement made was to say if this happened before, it would still be happening, and if it were still happening, there would still be specimen existing which were transitioning between species.
