I was reading thru recent posts, trying to decide whether to reply to some points, knowing that time was short right now......when I saw this:

"...I do NOT believe in macro evolution where one species mutates into another. If we evolved from monkeys; why are there still monkeys?"

This hits me harder than any of the 'energy' ideas, as I can at least understand why one could accept/believe in them, even if I don't.....but how one species mutates and evolves into others has been not only explained, but demonstrated......there are still monkeys because not all monkeys/apes mutated!...mutation is something that happens to INDIVIDUALS..and thus, their progeny. 50 apes in a group: ONE has a baby with a mutation for 'bigger brain case' or 'better hip joint', and off we go....49 do NOT, and their line remains apes/monkeys.

I must ask what you DO believe is the origin of 'us'....
