Also, if evolution is true then we did evolve from something completely different from us. After all, if everything had the same origin. But my main problem with evolution is that if we came from monkeys, shouldn't there be much more evidence then what's currently been found. I'm talking like 100,000s of fossils showing monkey/human hybrids, not 1 or 2 that "might" be the missing link but still haven't been found.

Lastly, I just haven't seen enough evidence for myself to believe that changes at the molecular level could alter a monkey into a human by natural selection. But that's me.
First off... humans didn't evolve from "monkeys". Humans and chimpanzees share a direct common ancestor. Second of all, humans and chimpanzees are almost the same as us. The difference between the human and the chimpanzee genome is about 1 or 2 percent if I remember correctly.

But regardless of the mis-information you have about evolution... why do question the idea of evolution on the basis that the current evidence which supports it is not enough then decide to believe that humans were created by God? I mean surely if you were going to be consistent at least you'd question the God idea in the exact same manner and would require evidence which unmistakably proves that this is the case in order to believe it.

As for your fossils comment. That deserves another facepalm. Humans evolved a long time ago. It's not like complete fossils from something that existed tens of thousands of years ago are easy to find.
