Evolution Exists

You need to read the question again. I see many posts in this thread claiming, "creationist believe this" and "creationalist believe that", but in the past we've had atheists and supporters of evolution make the claim that we evolved from monkeys (until they were corrected by people in this forum.)
Now, if you want to call the "belief" that man evolved from monkeys a "misconception" it doesn't matter. You can call it whatever the hell you want, but the question still stands. Where did the MISCONCEPTION come from?

probably people confusing monkeys with apes considering the many similarites in phenotype, and lack of understanding that there even exists a difference between the two. many people probably think the term monkey and ape are interchangable, like pepsi and coke. "im sorry we dont have pepsi"..."coke is fine". lol.
What are you talking about? The thread was not aimed towards creationism or creations solely, you misread. If you read my introduction I make it clear that the entire thread was not aimed at just creationists, but uneducated persons, creationists and evolutionists alike...
When I read your statement "Where did the belief that man evolved from monkeys come from?" I obviously assumed you held the misconception yourself that such a theory existed. My bad, I had no idea you already knew it was a misconception. Where did it come from? I'd probably guess Ignorant Redneck Christian-Conservatives, haha.

We belong to the order Primates, together with apes, monkeys and lemurs
All these groups share a common ancestor and it would probably have been called a monkey or a lemur if it was alive today, that's what I wanted to say (about 5 months ago)
if we're going to argue over semantics, we're not going to have a contructive dialogue

Basically;
It doesn't represent evolution but for some reason has been used to symbolize evolution. The Homonid Evolutionary timeline of the walking man is used to demonstrate an Evolutionary Theory. Of course you can see why ignorant people would look at this, be confused, and start making claims such as "I didn't evolve from a fucking monkey, evolution is bullshit!".

Okay, fair enough I see what you're getting at.
The misconception is held by ignorant people on both sides, Evolutionists and Creationists alike.
And that's the point, it's sad how uneducated on the subject some people are, yet they attempt to argue it anyways. I see uneducated people on BOTH sides misleading others.

My understanding is that creationists' problem is not whether we evolved from monkey or not, but rather that we evolved from something
That's what they are so much emotionally opposed to evolution, and as a result they reject the obvious fact that evolution is real and we are part of it
From that point of view it doesn't really matter whether man evolved from monkeys or apes, or they just share a common ancestor, it's the very fact that man evolved that some ignorant people find unacceptable

well since you wanna play the ape card.. i don't see how people can believe we came from a man and man's rib which magically created a pussy.. we shouldn't' be tryin' to disprove evolution.. we should be disproving your bullshit story of adam and eve.. in our modern day time.. with all the high tech gadgets we got.. can we reproduce that story... we should be questionin' your beliefs.. if you can believe this.. how can someone not believe the ape to human picture.. not sayin' either are correct.. just pointing out.. people believe crazy shit.. chritians bein' the people in this case.

Yes, but this doesn't address my question.
You should stop geralizing my friend. They are opposed to certain elemants/aspects of evolution.
You are entitled to your opinion that they are ignorant, but you must also consider the ignorance of evolutionists who don't understand what they believe. However, your statement does not answer my question.
