If so How come they're aren't species in-between evolving right now. It just stopped all of sudden right?

Oh boy.
How many times does this have to be said?
We DIDN'T evolve from monkeys... monkeys and ourselves (and other anthropoids, other mammals etc, etc ) had a common ancestor quite a few years ago.
As to your other question... how would you know - looking at any particular species right now - that it WASN'T an in-between to something else... that something else is not here yet!
Evolution is not something that happens within individuals in their life time - we are relatively fixed. Evolution happens over a larger time-scale than our experience can handle just by looking out of our windows!
And science has a pretty good idea at how the earth came about, and has also pretty well figured out the age of the universe and how IT came about too - and it has nothing to do with dividing the vowels in the bible by the hair of the prophets nose! If you actually tried READING the bible, you would probably soon see how inept it is at actually explaining anything.
Read some cosmology instead.

This comes up so often...
We did not evolve from modern monkeys. Over the course of millions of years, monkeys and man evolved from the same ancestral species.
Evolution has not stopped. It continues at the same speed as it ever did, which is very slowly. Every modern species is an intermediate species between what it once was and what it will become in thousands of generations. You can only see evolution happen is species that have thousands of generations during the time we can observe them e.g. bacteria, fruit flies.

1) We don't think we evolved from monkeys. The only people that claim that the theory of evolution says we evolved from monkeys are creationists who either don't know what the theory of evolution actually says, or are deliberately spreading misinformation about what the theory of evolution actually says.
2) Evolution didn't stop. We are still evolving. Evolution doesn't happen fast enough for it to be noticeable. It's not like one generation is short and hairy and then the next is us. It took millions of years for us to evolve into what we are today. Check back in another million years and you'll see a noticeable difference.

No, I don't. I believe that we and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor which was an ape-like creature. In evolution there aren't always an array of creatures evolving at all or various stages. Sometimes this happens and other times a particular species is so successful that it drives many of its cousins, rivals etc extinct. It just depends on whether there is sufficient environmental niches to support all the 'in-between' species you speak of.

I'm sorry, that your understanding of evolution is based on Pokemon.
Evolution is not a rapid transition, but gradual diversification of lines of descent from a common ancestor. There are fossils in transition from the common ancestor with monkeys to humans. None of the living species or monkey or ape is our ancestor. It is a massive error in understanding akin to confusing your first cousin for your grandfather. Our last common ancestor with modern monkeys lived about 55 million years ago. Evolution is happening, but slowly. The unit of time is the generation. It hasn't stopped. You just cannot see it because you do not understand what you are looking for.

No we came from a proto- human. There were quite a few diferent groups and We ended up as the only humans Apes have a 2 to 3% difference in DNA. Close, but no cigar. An interesting thing is that the other proto humans only died out 10,000 years ago, which is a blip in time compared to Lucy, everybodies mother She lived 3 million years ago, and has our genome.

Yes, you all evolved from some criteria-ridden monkeys of the wilderness, or maybe from some anthropoid apes of the brighter sun-kissed Savannah as they say,
and we may impudently against all science even dare guess that it rightly was baboons you evolved your form, or bodily and mental layout, from, of the utmost simian inbred and ridiculous and bloody style.
There indeed are a lot of species in between, and you may even identify, or identify with, the problematic missing link, or links, and you just have to walk the streets of cities or watch a TV, or incur in some petty misadventure amid the blunt populace, to get plenty of the various shows and layouts of them.
I for myself did never ever discend or evolve from monkeys, not even from those of the baboon type.
I for myself was created by God in Almighty God's own glowing image and blissful resemblance and was put on this Earth as a God's favored holy and utmost intelligent and fiercy creature, utmost superior among all these criteria-ridden apes or nasty simian creatures who obviously, and for reasons that I right now am not able to clarify because of just being too lazy to search the Web, definitely were doomed to be less favored, or not favored at all, and for reasons that they themselves know nothing about.

There is the info that monkeys actually evolved from us - the result of a breeding program gone wrong.

Err..no. No one thinks we came from monkeys.
And humans (and every other species) are evolving right now. There is no "in between" in evolution and there is no end point. It is a continual process that just happens.

Evolution did not happen!
God created the universe in 6 days and to cop it all he made mankind the pinnacle of his entire creation.
Someone mentioned once that we share 98% DNA with monkeys/apes whatever, so evolution is "proved " by that event.
Well we also share 70% DNA with a cabbage, so why are we not all green, rooted to the spot and stuck in rows in a field?
