Concerning evolution, my question is if mankind is the result of evolution, why after so many years have evolution stopped at us? Why havent we currently seen any of those monkeys in the process of evolution?

How long have modern humans been around? 10,000 years? We are talking about a time scale beyond your (and my) comprehension. MILLIONS of years.

We split off from our last common ancestor 7,000,000 years ago.

The thing about theories is they have to do 2 things. 1) It has two describe a lot of observations and 2) It should make accurate predictions about future observations.

Evolution does both with precision. Your questions are ok (of course an evolution expert would laugh his a$ off at any of your questions). But the issue is that you've obviously never read a book on evolution. Pick up Jerry Coyne's "Why Evolution is True." It's a quick 9 chapters and covers all the evidence, from: "evolution, gradualism, speciation, common ancestry, natural selection, and nonselective mechanisms of evolutionary change"

Evolution really is BY FAR the most marvelous insight into human life and it is very sad that most people have no desire or interest in reading about it.

We have children that may resemble our fore-parents, why none are born looking like monkeys.

Two things.

1) Lanugo (when a baby is born with excessive body hair but sheds it completely). http://robin.hubpage.../hub/Hairy_Baby

2) Babies born with tails.

Atavistic incidents, such as humans born with tails, actually bolster the case for Darwinism.

Monkeys have distinct features based on the species and none has slanted eyes.

Slanted eyes are a very simple concept in evolution called "Sexual Selection". You see it OVER AND OVER in thousands of animals/plants. Really fascinating stuff.

"Sexual selection comes in two forms. One, exemplified by the Irish elk's huge antlers, is direct competition between males for access to females. The other, the one that produces the widowbird's long tail, is female choosiness among possible mates. Male-male competition (or, in Darwin's oft pugnacious terminology, "the Law of Battle") is the easiest to understand. As Darwin noted, "It is certain that with almost all animals there is a struggle between the males for the possession of the female." When males of a species battle it out directly, be it through the clashing antlers of deer, the stabbing horns of the stag beetle, the head butting of stalk-eyed flies, or the bloody battles of massive elephant seals, they win access to females by driving off competitors. Selection will favor any trait that promotes such victories so long as the increased chance of getting mates more than offsets any reduced survival. This kind of selection produces armaments: stronger weapons, larger body size, or anything that helps a male win physical contests. In contrast, features such as bright colors, ornaments, owers, and mating displays are molded by the second type of sexual selection, mate choice. TO FEMALE EYES, it seems, not all mates are the same. They find SOME MALE TRAITS and behaviors more attractive than others, so genes that produce those FEATURES ACCUMULATE IN POPULATIONS. There is also an element of competition between males in this scenario, but it is indirect: winning males have the loudest voices, the brightest colors, the most alluring pheromones, the sexiest displays, and so on. But in contrast to male-male competition, here the winner is decided by the females."

The real question should be "Why do so many have a trouble believing in God?"

No. The real question should be why do you think that the earth is 6,000 years old? Why do you distrust science (fact)?
