If evolution is an ongoing process, and all living things start at the same point, then by now there should be not only sentient humans, but fish, birds and reptiles, etc. Why would just one of the myriad species evolve to a superior position, and not the others......

I am not an evolutionist, but from an evolutionary standpoint the only criterion for "superior" is living long enough to produce offspring. From that standpoint, cockroaches are our eual and need not necessarily "evolve" further until something changes in the environment to require adaptation.

Okay, then why did humans continue to evolve if there was no impetus to do so?.......
