That's actually 4 questions, so I am going to try to answer these questions like I would if a 3 year old asked them, since your math skills seem to be on level with a 2-3 year old.
Quote:1. If humans evolved from monkeys, then how come monkeys still exist?
2. If the big bang was what originated the universe, then what originated the big bang?
3. If dinosaurs existed, then how come Darwin and his henchmen had to fake so many supposed fossil findings?
4. If the Earth revolves around the Sun, then how come the shape of the Sun suggests otherwise?
I'm sorry to hear about your commitment to ignorance, but I am willing to answer your questions.
1. Humans did not evolve from monkeys, we share a common descent. In other words, we evolved alongside monkeys, rather than from them. It is notable that there is only 1% difference in DNA between chimpanzees and humans. Here is an illustration for you of common descent:
2. Was there life on earth before you were born? Of course there was, just as there was material in space before the big bang. Here, I'll let the smartest man in the world explain it.

3. That is the most absurd thing I've ever heard, and it leads me to question whether or not you're really a Roman Catholic. I was raised Roman Catholic, and attended catholic schools. I don't know where you got this notion that Darwin faked fossils, but I would love to see your evidence. I will scrutinize it objectively, and be glad to answer this ridiculous question.
4. "If" the Earth revolves around the sun. IT FOR SURE DOES. You're not a catholic!! Can't be. Anyway, I am not sure what you really mean by that. You are aware that the earth's orbit around the sun is in the shape of an ellipse, which causes the sun to appear to change shape during the course of orbit, right?

I hope that helped.
