We know that our evolutionary tree first sprouted in Africa. We are sure that our closest living relatives are chimpanzees, and that our lineage split from theirs about 7 million years ago.
Apes aren't monkeys in the same way that cats aren't dogs. Thought you knew.
It's not just anatomical and fossil evidence showing that humans and chimps share a common ancestor more recently than they share one with any other ape. The generic evidence makes this very clear as well. And we know it works, because we can test it on organisms of known descent.

Humans and modern apes, including chimpanzees, evolved from a now-extinct common ancestor.
This says the same thing. Not understanding what it's all about, is a constant problem for you.
HOW IS IT A SUPERSITITION IF WE DON'T BELIEVE IT HAPPENED?
Because you invent all kinds of false beliefs you want scientists to have.
And no, I don't buy the story that God tortures innocent animals to get even with Adam.
WHERE in the Bible did God "torture" any animals?
It's not in the Bible at all. That's a creationist invention. Animals don't suffer and die because of Adam's sin.
Death - man AND animal - came into the world thru human sin.
That belief is man's revision of God's word. You do this to make it more acceptable to you. God never said that. God makes it very clear what the "death" is. He tells Adam that he will die the day he eats from the tree. Adam eats from the tree, and lives on physically for many years after. If God tells the truth, the death Adam brought into the world is not a physical death.
I don't know why you believe the literal Genesis compromiser's myth. Why not just accept His word entirely, without your new revisions?
God says:
James 4:17 So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.
God said it. I believe Him. You should, too.
Romans 2:14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: 15 Which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another
You can do evil unintentionally, but that is not what sin is. Sin is a rebellion against God. Primitive Hebrews thought of God in the traditional Middle Eastern context, where a sin made one unclean and needed some kind of cleansing. In that time, they thought that unintentional acts forbidden by God were less "unclean" and so had less involved cleansing required. Jesus shows that legalistic adherence to law was not what was pleasing to God. Which is what Paul is telling us; the New Covenant is both simpler and more encompassing than the old.
The difference between the Apostles and the Pharisees.
Chose wisely.
