Evolution makes perfect sense to me. Monkeys did not evolve because they did not encounter the conditions which were necessary to evolve. I can envision a big tree where everything has a common genetic ancestor. It's actually amazing how many genetic similarities we share with mammals and other species, for example the urge to urinate when the sound of running water is heard, sexual reproduction, the way our eyes look, etc.

If you eliminate the thinking mind and use mindfulness to observe nature and observe your basic instincts, you can get in touch with your animal self.

I believe in evolution, but I don't understand why our genes have more affinity with pigs and fruit flies than with a monkey. Can anybody explain this fact? I wonder how Muslims react to the similarity of their genes with a pig.

We... Don't.
I mean that's not true. We have more affinity with great apes than with fruits or pig it's... Obvious.
There is no explanation because as far as I know what you say is false. Maybe I'm lacking info though.
