I'm pretty sure that:
a) there's no such thing as a "monkey gene"
b) God had nothing to do with anything in the split between monkeys and humans.
It was a slow change over time, like mutations that god selected for and so on, and it defiatly wasn't 6000 years ago.

Incoherent question. God does not direct the details of evolution.
The branching of Old World monkeys and hominoids apparently occurred in the late Oligocene (38 to 25 million years ago) or early Miocene (25 to 8 million years ago). The lesser apes (gibbons and siamangs) and other hominoid lines diverged about 20 million years ago, while the Asian great apes (the orangutan being the only surviving form) diverged from the African hominoids about 15 to 10 million years ago. Genetic evidence suggests that the ancestral lines of gorillas diverged about 8 million years ago and that chimpanzees and hominids diverged about 5 million years ago.

Humans didn't descend from monkeys; we both descended from a common ancestor. That ancestor probably lived in the middle Cretaceous, so around 100 million years ago, give or take a couple dozen million.
The universe is about 13.7 billion years ago. Our planet is about 4.6 billion years old. Life has existed on this planet for about 3.7 billion years. Both your time scales are way off.

Actually a super intelligent monkey split the god gene into an otter gene and put the left overs in a cracker jack box.

No one has ever said that humans evolved from monkeys, humans and apes had a common ancestor, that tree branched, it created humans and apes as we see them today. We had nothing to do with monkeys. If you are going to argue against something at least learn a few of the facts.

Actually the fusion of chromosome 2 occurred 4 - 5 million years ago.

Silly monkey.
Gene was an actor, he played willie wonka and did some funny work alongside Richard Pryor.
I guess you are younger than me because he came on the scene about 35 years ago.

I don't know what He did. But if some design of an animal would best for a human, why not use it. It is kind of like building an airplane. If the wheels from a car work for landing, why reinvent them... use them.

Neither
Man evolved more than 6000 years ago.
The Earth is only 4.5 Billion years old.
