The scientific theory of evolution has shown that modern humans and “monkeys” share a common ancestor, it does not state that monkeys became people.

Well, you're a bit wrong for two reasons. First, the "scientific" theory of evolution at one time claimed that the orangutan was the ancestor of the mongoloid race, the gorilla the ancestor of the negroid race, and the chimpanzee the ancestor of the caucasian race (that was back before any of us alive now were born). After further study showed that to be impossible they started positing that both the great apes and humans had a common ancestor. It was later posited that various representatives of zinjanthropus were ancestors of something that was the ancestor of something else that was the ancestor of the modern human. But just remember, there's a whole lot of positing going on, not because the evidence requires it, but because presuppositions made necessary by certain forms of the theory required it.

Darwinists don’t know their own history. Sad panda is sad. :(
