Humans are more closely related to modern apes than to monkeys, but we didn't evolve from apes, either.
Anyway, I don't know exactly what the science is now claiming. But as I said in the last paragraph, I think a lot of the evolutionary theories we were taught as kids have turned out to be false. So if there are hugs gaps in the evolution argument, is it reasonable to teach an alternative approach, in addition to evolution? I'm not sure. I'd have to hear the latest scientific arguments from both sides.
Here is an article that says that everything we've been taught about evolution is wrong. This is not a partisan article either. So if everything we're being taught is wrong, should we just continue to teach that and exclude alternatives?

you need to study up on scientific method, it might help you in understanding how scientists do their 'thing'.
and i'm sorry, but that most definitely is a partisan article. if you want to learn about science, you need to get info from respected scientific sites.
scientists don't take science on faith, that stuff is studied, tested, tested some more. obviously we still have a lot to learn, but that doesn't mean what's been learned so far is 'full of holes'.
