do you think evolution means MAN being descendants of monkeys?

I dont find it making any sense. Why are so many monkeys still left? Why didn't all of them become man like us. And after all what were monkeys before they became monkeys. Were they rabbits, tigers. what were tigers and rabbits or so many other creatures in their earlier forms. Its so weird when I think of it. Darwin could have descended from chimps and monkeys but I havent.

This surprisingly common argument reflects several levels of ignorance about evolution. The first mistake is that evolution does not teach that humans descended from monkeys; it states that both have a common ancestor.
The deeper error is that this objection is tantamount to
asking, "If children descended from adults, why are there still adults?" New species evolve by splintering off from established ones, when populations of organisms become isolated from the main branch of their family and acquire sufficient differences to remain forever distinct. The parent species may survive indefinitely thereafter, or it may become extinct.

Let us learn to first become good human beings and respect others opinion. No competition is going on here. Only ignorant people call others ignorant. I would never stoop so low. We may differ in our opinions but we must respect others. By the way you have not answered all my querries. Darwin's theory is only an opinion. It DOES NOT HAVE ALL ENCOMPASSING PROOF. I am greatly amused by you people's education and science. Today you have some theory and when that theory does not explain a new phenomena you throw it into the dustbin and go to town with a new theory in such great fanfare as if it was the FINAL THEORY. Yesterday you said there were 9 planets today it is 8 tommorrow it may be 9 again who knows! I do not require your type of science and education. God bless you with your education. Science has destroyed this earth. It threatens to obliterate this beautiful planet. It killed people in Hiroshima and Nagasaki. It has polluted the environment --the water, the air, the soil. It invents something one day and tomtoms it as a GREAT DISCOVERY. After some time when its ill effects comes to the fore you start a movement for banning it. Take for example the plastic. It does not decay, pollutes the soil, causes jams in drains and waterways, when burnt it emits poisonous smoke. I fervently hope all scientists and educated people like left for some other planet before our beautiful earth is destroyed by some fool's pressing the scientific button.

The pity is that so many more fundamentalist Christians don't know anything about evolution -shown by that they still talk of Darwin and ignore completely more recent findings and archaeolog proof.
But it is a pity also, that so many non-believers ignore anything about Christian doctrine, especially about Bible interpretation, and take up the discussion on Sunday school level (nothing against the very necessary Sunday School, but it teaches Christianity like mathematics limited to sum and rest). It is interesting to discuss about this topic, but why not do some more serious studies before expressing our opinions? I think both sides can only win by increasing their knowledge.
To your question: I think that all living beings developed from simple monocell beings evolutioned into complex beings like "chimps" and humans, according to the God's plan of creation.

The pity is that so many Darwinian fundamentalists don't know about evolution. Please state any more recent finding and archaeological that you are aware of
