No, not a monkey. A common ape-like ancestor. This is what I know to be true, and as a Christian, is even more glorious and amazing than anything I can imagine. God continually creates this universe, and supports the life within it by His breath. He created this universe and life to evolve from simple to complex, from unconscious to conscious, from unliving to living, from beast to child of God.
To imagine that God created this plan of evolution for us to get closer to Him, to me, is such a beautiful prospect, and shows His immense love for us as His creation. You think this negates Christ and His sacrifice? On the contrary, His sacrifice both covered our sins for this age, where everyone will be responsible for their own in the next, they will work out their salvation on their own. Also, His ultimate sacrifice shows us how to evolve further spiritually through sacrifice of our own, to become like the Christ that He is. He is perfect, we become so by following his example.
