Evolution

I just saw something that made me think...

If we evolved from Apes, why are there still Apes? arent they suppose to be human now?

"Why do you have to quote others when you can quote yourself?" (Quote by me)
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God.
You see things, and you say 'why'. But i dream things that never were and i say 'why not'.

Newtons theory of evolution is being question today. He might have been wrong.

Newton's theory? *smirks but says nothing*

Evolution as Darwin presented it is not held by most...um...I guess they'd be biologists, but science agrees he got the basic principle right. The trouble is, fossil evidence shows that evolution happens in 'bounds'. I saw a program on it, but I wasn't paying attention. But yes, the whole thing is only a theory.

And as for why are there still apes today? Well, firstly it's worth mentioning that humans are classified as apes, so your confusion is only based on lack of knowledge. But yes, all apes today apparently evolved from a common ancestor, just as all hominids today evolved from a common ancestor.

We evolved from Apes because our enviroment changed. There's haven't and so they don't need to change to suit their enviroment...besides, evolution takes thousands/millions of years...not just a couple...
