If you have to ask this question, your biology teacher failed you. Go back to class.
That is all.

I highly recommend "Darwin On Trial" by Philip E. something
(Not to be confused with "Darwinism on Trial")

For those of you who can't find your biology teacher, the answer is because "Survival of the fittest" is a misnomer. It's actually "Survival of the adequate".
If you have 2 monkeys, and one evolves a bigger brain that lets his descendents invent agriculture, use fossil fuel, and invent colored comics on Sunday, his descendents will do pretty well for themselves. If the other monkey doesn't evolve, BUT he is still able to breed, and his descendents can still make a pretty good living picking fleas off of each other, then they will still be monkeys while their cousins are reading "Alley Oop" every Sunday morning. Both tribes will be around at the same time.

I didn't ask that question, you did. Humans are related to apes more closely than monkeys. But if you go back far enough, say 60 million years or so we are related to more primitive creatures.
Yet I am a saint, how do you explain that?
Maybe your church teacher failed you. I'm a saint and I'm holier than you. HA!

Evolutionists do not say we come from monkeys, they say we come from a common ancestor - and that ancestor no longer exists, so this monkey thing doesn't make sense.
Brothers and sisters, if you are going to argue this, know their argument.

Darwin never said that we came from monkeys. He said that monkeys and humans came from a common ancestor.

Well Jim, arent you an evolutionist? If yes, then the monkeys out there are family of yours.

That is a good question, though. Why did only some of us evolve, if evolution is true?
