I have never understood the evolution thing. If we "evolved" from apes, why are there still apes? Why aren't there only the result of the so-called evolution. Why are some of our so-called ape cousins still swinging from tree branches? Naaaah, I'm sticking with the Biblical version. Makes more sense.

We didn't evolve from apes. Humans and apes evolved from the same common ancestor.

[Little Ray]

We didn't evolve "from" apes. According to evolution theory, we share common ancestors with apes. Apes are as highly evolved for their environments as we are.

[Pharmboy]

As others have said, we "evolved" from a common ancestor, thought to have lived (with pretty good evidence) between 5.5 and 8 million years ago.

And further, just because one species gives rise to another, it doesn't necessarily mean that the first species need become extinct. Geographical isolation appears to account for much of evolved differences; the races of humans are a good example of this. If isolated populations cannot interbreed, over long periods of time genetic change will differentiate them.

Dittos! Evolution: 2 Points ---

1) Where are all the transitions species? If man evolved to where he is today there would have have been numerous "transitions". Where are they??

2) 1 Cor 15:39 "All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish...."

Translation: God created men, animals, birds, and fish differently!

Ingenious solutions to both issues have now been proposed
It implies
resurrecting a suggestion
One theory holds
A better suggestion
their idea, if true
Dr. Pagel and Dr. Bodmer suggest
There are all kinds of notions
"There are all kinds of notions as to the advantage of hair loss, but they are all just-so stories," said Dr. Ian Tattersall
Dr. Rogers' argument was "completely plausible

It is all story telling. Of course, they would never consider that we humans were originally without "fur" and that we were designed that way by a Creator Who in the end is going to have the Last Laugh!

If we "evolved" from apes, why are there still apes?

Even creationists are embarrassed by such statements. Look at the ninth item in: Arguments we think creationists should NOT use.
