Sorry I have to dispute you here. I see your intentions as good, but still not totally accurate.
All primates are descendant of "old world" monkeys. That includes apes and homo sapiens. So we can still be considered, in a general sense, monkeys.

I think you might be doing a minor disservice to the side of the argument that you actually support.
Why is it that people that believe in the literal interpretation of the bible can't seem to cite credible sources?
The article you cited was written not by a scientist, but by a Baptist pastor. And he wasn't even a pastor with a background in science. He is an accountant and computer technician.
Hardly credible proof and definitely misinformed.
Please cite ACTUAL scientific papers and evidence that back up your claim. It doesn't need to be from evolutionary biology. It could be from archeology, geology, or anthropology if you would like, but at least cite sources from people that actually spend their time putting in the effort to answer questions, as apposed to data mining to suit your agenda.
Besides, we would have seen evidence in ice core records. The core from Dome C, high on East Antarctica's plateau, contains snowfall from the last 740,000 years and is by far the oldest continuous climate record obtained from ice cores so far.
There was absolutely NO record of a global flood contained in the core... ever.
Also there are several other problems with a global flood idea, such as...
Why are geological eras consistent worldwide?
How was the fossil record sorted in an order that supports evolution?
How does a global flood explain angular unconformities?
When did granite batholiths form if there was a flood?
How can a single flood be responsible for such extensively detailed layering?
I could go on and on...
