["Who says the other apes haven't evolved? Today's gorillas are different from their ancestors of several millions years ago. Other apes just haven't evolved into humans".]
I have heard that said. however based on the evidence (missing links and such) one has to place a lot of faith in theory.

What are you babbling about here? The evidence for what he says is massive and overwhelming. What is "the evidence" you mistakenly feel argues for the contrary?

["In answer to your question, I pose a different question: Since the USA "evolved" from Great Britain, why does Great Britain still exist"?]
#1 The USA didn't "evolve" from Great Britain, we had a revolutionary war and separated.

Yes. Exactly. Ponder that until you realize the significance of that to the current discussion.

#2 Apes are still in zoos in both countries.

Not clear on the use of analogy, I see.

The model "a" ford and a modern nascar both have all the same components. Wheels, axles, transmissions,etc..Doesn't mean that cars evolved. It means they have the same "creative design"

Just as soon as you can show that humans and apes are produced on assembly lines, and redesigned every few years, you'll have some sort of relevant point here. Until then...

But in any case, yes, car designs do evolve. They are modifications upon prior designs. That's evolution, in the more general sense of the word (as opposed to strictly biological evolution). It's not as if the 2004 Cadillacs share no subcomponents or engineering lineage or functional conception with last year's models.

Somewhere along the theoretical highway of evolution apes took a left turn and humans veered to the right. human knowledge has expanded at an incredible rate. this is not the case with apes, even though chimpanzees cohabit with humans.The bridge between humans and apes continues to lenghten. their inability to "evolve" is one of the missing pieces of the puzzle.
