1. Humans did not evolve from monkeys. Humans and monkeys evolved from a common ancestor.
2. The term Big Bang was coined as a derogotary term by astronomer Fred Hoyle, champion of the Steady State theory, as a way of belittling the new model. As for what originated it, the truthful and honest answer is: we don't know - yet. However, physicists have some idea of the kind of thing it should be and the characteristics it ought to exhibit, so the possibility is there for some day learning the answer. It doesn't help that the laws of physics break down and become less predictable under extreme conditions such as those at the birth of the Universe.
3. Dinosaurs did indeed exist, Darwin had no henchmen and the few fake fossils that have existed were later exposed as hoaxes by scientists. Incidentally, the Theory of Evolution works even without fossils.
4. I have no idea what you mean. Here's a counter-question for you: if the Earth doesn't revolve around the Sun, then why do the outer planets sometimes move backwards in the sky?
That's four of your two burning questions; if you need help with basic arithmetic, this may help you.
The first thing I thought of when I saw this was "this guy's a poe", but just on the remote offchance he isn't, and for any passing stranger with similar "queeries", I answered anyway.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
