What are you going on about? I've never heard anyone tell me I came from a monkey. I've heard the theory of evolutuion which states that primates and humans share a common ancestor, which they do.
Funny story, my Science teacher was giving everyone a riddle. He was like, "Two twins are born, one twin was born five minutes after the other twin but celebrates his birthday one day earlier than the other one. How is this possible?"
and one kid answered, "God made it happen."
and my science teacher said, "God doesn't exist, this is Science class. He can screw with time outside the classroom."
Funny as hell. I have to agrre to. If there is a God, he certainly has no leverage in Science class.

lol sounds like a fun teacher
Oh and because one was born at 5 minutes to midnight and the other at midnight

I wasn;t saying that you said that. I was talking about how scientists and their Theorys run the schools now.
I mean if i came from a monkey. Then why arn't the animals changing now like they said they did. Records go back for hundreds of years describiing animals and people still cant find the diffrence between the animals now and back then.
That science teacher needs to be taken out of school. Their not allowed to say stuff like that in school.

1. Evolution takes MILLIONS OF YEARS. Here's how it works. You have natural selection. Okay, an animal, let's say it's a rabbit, is born with a genetic diversity. Let's say instead of being born with a white coat it's slightly gray, really slightly. In fact it's an almost unnoticable shade. Neither of its parents had a slightly gray coat, so it's a random genetic change. Now, let's say these rabbits make their livelihood in a soily, rocky area. The wolves come, they eat most of the rabbits, as they do every year. One of the rabbits that survived had this genetic change that randomly made him blend in just a little more so the other rabbits made better targets. He passes this new gene onto the next generation, and they all survive slightly better. Fifty, sixty generations later there are a breed of rabbits living in that area that have a coat that is the exact color of the rocky terrain they live in.
Also, we see evolution occurring all the time.
Let's say you spray some type of pesticide to get rid of all the cockroaches in your house. Your spray every little one you can find. You use one brand, and spray every time you see a new one. Three weeks later, you're spraying them but nothing is happening. Your pesticide killed maybe 90% of the termites, yet 10% were diverse, and randomly were able to fend off the spray for whatever reason, whether they're immune or whatever. This 10% bred and their genes passed on so now all the cockroaches are immune to they pesticide. That is a perfect example of evolution.
2. That's not a crime. A crime would be if the Science teacher said, "God doesn't exist, you can't believe in God." He was making a joke and if you wanted to be a tight boat and challenge him on it he'd probably say, "We only deal with things we can prove in Science class."

We'll see hwo long #2 stands up in court. "I was just joking you honor."
AS for spraying your cockroaches... Thats called adaptation not evolution. I was talking about monkeys. Do we see them evolving? We just see them pick up a stick and dig in the ground with it for food. Thats called instinct. Which is driven by hunger in that case.

No, that is evolution. Look it up, adaptation happens in your lifetime (Say you go out into freezing cold weather for 30 minutes every day, well eventually you will adapt to be able stand out there for like 2 hours) evolution happens over generations
Monkeys are evolving, all species are constantly evolving. Insects, viruses, and single celled organisms make a better example of evolution in real life because they are simpler organisms and therefore can evolve to adapt to their necessary struggles much faster than, say, an ape could, which is a much more complex organism.
As far as apes evolving, here are some examples of primates becoming more intelligent:
We've studied chimpanzees killing monkeys using group tactics. Their diet requires no meat what so ever. Chimps need no meat to survive. Within their society, they developed a system of politics where the gift of meat to a fellow chimp means that chimp will have his back. This is new, a hundred years ago chimps had no complex system of bribery.
A group of monkeys, the simplest primates, were seen taking extremely hard nut-like objects at least three hundred feet away from where they found them, and using tools, a giant rock, to smash them against another giant rock. They actually had the intelligence to use logic and figure out they could take this object, bring carry it very far away to another couple of objects, and get the nutrients inside.
Once again, I disgress, if you want to see a species evolve into a compeltely different species in your lifetime you're going to have to find the secret to immortality. The oldest recorded human being is 3.18 million years old, and most evolution between her and us are less hair, shorter arms and legs, and a straighter stature.
About #2: What he said as it stands is completely within the law. If some student decided to a take it seriously he could elaborate if only not to offend him or her. This man is the greatest science teacher I have ever had so the fact that you're saying its wrong that 1. he has a sense of humor and 2. he understands a science class is an environment where you stick to waht you can prove, it shows a deep lack of understanding.
