Answer 4

1)  We didn't come from monkeys.  Monkeys and humans evolved from a common ancestor.  You're related to your cousin - but that doesn't mean you evolved from him.  You share a common ancestor in your grandparents.

2)  There are plenty of websites and books with the common ancestors as we currently know it based on the fossil record.  You can find some here http://www.talkorigins.org .

3)  You do realize the big bang has NOTHING to do with biological evolution, right?

4)  The big bang was the beginning of our universe.  It wasn't an explosion, but an expansion - of space.  Like blowing up a balloon and creating space inside it as you do - think of it that way.

Answer 5

Read eri's answer.  It is right on target.

I will just gently suggest that you have two glaring misconceptions about evolution ... first that we "came from Monkeys", and second that evolution has something to do with the Big Bang.

And yet I detect that you have clearly made up your mind to reject evolution, even with what little you know about it.

This is NOT a good way to approach science.  You don't decide whether you "believe" something BEFORE you understand what it is.

Relax.  Be open minded.   You don't have to accept or reject evolution (or *ANYTHING* else in science) until you have a pretty good understanding of what it says.

How do you know you have a fair understanding of something?  When you can say with a good deal of honesty, that you understand who accepts it ... and *WHY*.  In the case of evolution ... pretty much the entire scientific community accepts it.   Aren't you curious as to *WHY*?

Answer 6

Evolution does not state that we came from monkeys, but rather monkeys and us have a common ancestor and the we evolved further as a result of our ability to manipulate and adapt to different environments.
