If we evolved from chimps, monkeys, or whatever these people claim we evolved from then...?

sir, im sorry to tell you that you have totally misunderstood evolution... Darwinian evolution that is. evolution never stated that man came from monkeys. moreover, its not a development from the simple towards the complex... such theory is by Lamarck and has already been proved false. Darwinian evolution is about adaption of a species in a world of limited resources and competition. one species need not be complex in order to compete... but competition and the will to survive is a mechanism of evolution. bacterias and other unicellular organisms can compete with the resources available, so they need not (macro) evolve... although, micro evolution frequently takes place when there are mutagens. please do read first books and references on evolution before making some unfounded conclusions.
