When Jesus came and died for us, He did it because He has an overwhelming love for us!
He wants to save us. With our own worldly desires and passion we did it to ourselves and God saw that this was not good. So He came and died for us so that we may live. We don't die like you say Jeff, if your a Christian, a funeral isn't to a grief, but a celebration. We will go on to something so much greater.
That's an awfully nice sermon, but are you actually going to discuss any of the so-called "flaws of Evolution" that you claim exist?

Jesus was born as a baby just like you and me, and there was no mention of ancient man with monkey features.
But all humans have monkey features because we are all primates. We are very, very similar, anatomically.
On the other hand, I think you are repeating a (somewhat garbled and confused) version of the oldy but moldy Creationist chestnut, "If humans evolves from monkeys, why are there still monkeys around?"
1) Humans didn't evolve from monkeys. Humans and other great apes share a common ancestor.
2) Just because two or more species are closely-related evolutionarily doesn't mean that the "parent" species which gave rise to the "offshoot" species myst go extinct. The story of evolving life is a branching tree, not a linear ladder.
Perhaps you might learn a bit about Evolutionary Biology before attempting to say that it is impossible or doesn't occur. It's clear that you don't know the first thing about the field, yet in your combined ignorance and arrogance, you feel perfectly comfortable criticizing it and making claims.
I wish I could say that this is a rare attitude among Creationists, but I unfortunately cannot.
Here are some informative sites that you might want to learn from...if you are interested in learning, that is:

close our minds to the knowledge painstakingly accumulated by hundreds of thousands
of scientists over long centuries is to deliberately decide to be ignorant and narrow-
minded."
