What difference does it make who the intelligent designer is? I do know that the answer to this is in every man’s heart. You just refuse to acknowledge this.
Answer this question-if man evolved from apes, why are there still apes? I don’t believe scientists have been able to give an answer to this, and indeed, since there still are apes this would seem to disprove the theory of man’s evolution anyway.
Which goes to my point. How can you classify ID as a science when you have no interest in the ultimate answer? Science may not know exactly how life first came to be on this planet, but they don't write the question off as not worth exploring.

The answer to that has indeed been answered - it's because man did not evolve from apes. The evolution of man spans the Genus Homo and includes ancestors like Homo Erectus, Homo Neanderthalensis, Homo Rodesiensis, back to Homo Erectus. And, GEICO commercials to the contrary notwithsanding, none of those earlier species still exist. The evolution of apes as we know them, while similar to humans, took a different evolutionary path millions of years ago which resulted in the similar, but distinct species, of today. It's interesting to note that science classes apes as hominoids, as it does humans. And that the family Hominidae includes orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, and humans. The other family, Hylobatidae, consists primarily of gibbons.
You must be listening to that science mental midget, Rush Limbaugh. If America came from England, then why is are there still English? If Christianity came from Judaism, then why are there still Jews? You need to pick up a biology text book.
If Miss Jones married Mr. Smith, how come there are still people named Jones?
TexasKate: Statements like this are what demonstrate that "Creationists" have absolutely no clue what they're talking about. If you had ever bothered to simply read a book on the topic, you would see how silly this question is. Do you even have a high-school level science education? It does not appear that you do.
You should take some advice that my parents raised me with: It's never a good idea to talk about something you know nothing about.
And, try reading a book every now and then, it will save you from embarrassing yourself with such inane statements.
