"Something other than pure apes and pure humans should have evolved in the last 7 million years (or whenever the first modern apes appeared) that would still exist today."

Humans are apes. The Family Hominidae includes all the great apes.

Your statement is so confused, it shows a complete lack of understanding of the biological process of evolution.
Go to Patrick Henry's list of links and study a bit.

How about you just answer the question? I have come with humility and recognition that I am no subject matter expert.

So perhaps I must repeat myself yet again: While I don't doubt for a second that God created the universe, I don't preclude the possibility that evolution is the means God chose do advance life on earth.

If you have such an intimate working knowledge of evolution and "how it really works", it shouldn't be hard for you to give me fairly succinct answers to the questions I raised. Yet all I get from you and others is a refusal to answer me in the form of condescension and insults about how confused my statements are.

To know is to define. If it is that difficult for you to lay it out fairly simply in a way that even a moron like me can understand, then can you be sure that I am the one who is confused?
