I've been taught creation my entire life, but I am now questioning the idea that God just went *BAM* and everything was suddenly there. I would appresiate any answers to what I've been told that is contrary to evolution.
-one specices can't breed with another one, if there was a monkey that had a human like baby, the baby couldn't breed with other monkeys.
-there is no missing link. it would have taken a long time for monkeys to evolve into humans, so why is there no evedance?
Any evidence for evolution or against creation would be appreciated

Some reading first
Welcome to EvC agitated.
We are a bit fussy about OPs (opening posts here). You are expected to put a bit more work in that just a couple of lines.
You might want to read some of the existing threads and see if you get some answers to your questions that way. You can post questions in appropriate theads.
You would also do well to find a site that gives you some general ideas about evolution. For example:
-one specices can't breed with another one, if there was a monkey that had a human like baby, the baby couldn't breed with other monkeys.
You are precisely correct about this issue. That is why no one thinks that is what happened. In addition, the evidence shows that it didn't happen that way. Do a search for "Ring species" and read about it.
You can also read this thread:
What is evolution?
-there is no missing link. it would have taken a long time for monkeys to evolve into humans, so why is there no evedance?
This statement is simply totally factually incorrect. There are a number of "not-so-missing links" in the past 6 million years of human evolution.
This is another thread which may help you.
Dogs will be Dogs will be ???
