I'm not ashamed that my origin is monkey.I'm not better than monkeys. many people knew it even before Darwin.
There are also scientific research & proofs that some readers of this question can provide you in
their answers. What do you think ?

Philosophy. Thats where your question belongs. You are just trying to be a stirer.
There is plenty of interesting evidence but no proof as such.
Science is about enquiry and theories that provide working hypothesies not belief.
There is plenty of good evidence cited in better asked questions on this site. You don't actually deserve decent answers in my view.
Now where is that bannana?

Not sure where mppuzzo is getting his facts, but Darwin did in fact say that we evolved from old world monkeys - (see http://www.edwardtbabinski.us/essays/monkey.html ) - I haven't read this whole page as it doesn't answer your question, just found it on google and the first bit seems interesting.
Anyhow, to answer your question, there is no valid proof to claim that evolution exists. It is just a belief system about the past just like believing in a Creator is a belief system about the past. Science is based on being able to obvserve, test, and repeat. Since evolution and creationism both rest in a belief system about the past, neither one can be observed, tested, or repeated by our human efforts (at least with the facts we currently have).
Anyhow, I would highly recommend the following site:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/video/ondemand/answersWithKen.asp
It has online videos from a Christian perspective. However, it does not just say "believe it because God says it", it also looks at creationism from a Scientific perspective. There is a 2-part video there on evolution.
There is also:
http://www.answersingenesis.org/video/ondemand/
about Lucy, but those videos do not appear to be up yet.
It always helps to look at both sides of an issue, both creationist and evolutionist. I myself am a Creationist, but like to look at what the "other side" believes too. :)

If you are 1000% sure why would you bother asking anyone?
The real question is whether or not God exists. Common sense and the evidence of our senses declare the existence of a creator. Our guilty conscience,not evidence, is what demands a godless, accidental universe in which there is no final accounting of our actions.

Knew what? You refer to evidence that doesn't exist (Darwin said as much in his book, that you have failed to read).
And your origin is not monkeys unless your parents are. Are they?
Perhaps to investigate "Evolution" some more. Micro vs. Macro? Gradual vs. Punctuated? Which one do you believe? But I bet you weren't aware of the differences. You should be if you "believe" it.

Well, i figure if "God" created us in his image or whatever, than he's probably some kind of narcisist. And since narcissism is a sin, and god doesn't sin, then somewhere along the origions of the bible someone mistook what god "told" them to write. Either that or the whole thing's bullshit.

A agree with you 1000000%, you are no better than a monkey. I, on the other hand, am capable of thought and reason that the Almighty gave me.

darwin never claimed that we came from monkeys but an ape like creature. and no there are no proofs. please if there are let us all know cause that would be amazing and a huge change in everyones evolutionary theory. but i really think your just bullshiting yourself and not sure of anything and want to act like a rebel against religion... a rebel who doesnt even know his own forefathers. darwin NEVER stated we came from apes.

The so-called "proofs" do not exist...
there was some research data that was falsified back in the 70's and it seems that this data keeps surfacing under new circumstances over and over and over.. but it is the EXACT same data.. made up to "prove" evolution...
now..I'm not sure if your information is something new.. that makes you THINK that evolution is true.. but if I were YOU and did not actually do the research myself and discover it.. I would not believe it!
