Glenn Beck, a conservative political commentator and radio host, has been known for his controversial statements and opinions on a wide range of topics. One of the most notable topics that Beck has weighed in on is the theory of evolution and the idea that humans evolved from monkeys.

Beck has made it clear that he does not believe in the theory of evolution and finds the idea that humans evolved from monkeys to be ridiculous. In one of his radio shows, Beck famously stated, “I don't think we came from monkeys. I think that's ridiculous. I haven't seen a half-monkey/half-person yet.” This statement reflects Beck's skepticism towards the scientific theory of evolution and his belief in creationism.

Beck's rejection of the theory of evolution is not surprising given his conservative beliefs and his strong Christian faith. Many conservatives, particularly those who adhere to a literal interpretation of the Bible, reject the theory of evolution in favor of creationism. Beck's views on evolution are in line with the beliefs of many of his followers and listeners who share his skepticism towards the theory of evolution.

While Beck's statement may seem simplistic and dismissive of the overwhelming scientific evidence supporting the theory of evolution, it is important to understand the context in which he made this statement. Beck's rejection of evolution is not based on a lack of understanding of the theory or the evidence supporting it, but rather on his deeply held religious beliefs and his distrust of mainstream science.
