If this theory is true, then why haven't the other apelike critters that run evolved into our physical structure? Why is there still a difference?
Answer: because G-- created all critters. And he created us with the ability to evolve -- BUT ONLY WITHIN THE LIMITS OF OUR GENETIC CODING.
We are separated genetically from the other primates. Always have been, always will be.
The fact that these evolutionists have to keep citing assumed behavior as a reason for evolving proves that they acknowledge that environmental circumstances trigger our evolving within our limits and that we never can evolve beyond our limits. If we could, we'd all be able to run as fast as a leopard all day long because that would have provided the most assured success in hunting. But leopards can't run fast for very long. And we can't run very fast at all. We've had enough time to evolve to perfection, but we haven't. We're limited by our genes.

Because they fit nicely into the niche they were in. Humans and human ancestors found a new niche that was at the time unfilled, or at least open to exploitation.
> We are separated genetically from the other primates
Yes, that's what a few million years of divergent evolution will get you.
> we never can evolve beyond our limits
Correct. We evolve to current limits, and either prosper, perish, or evolve *around* those limits.

We've had enough time to evolve to perfection, but we haven't. Strange argument. Most creationist argue that we haven't had enough time to even develop to a worm.
