>>>If man evolved from apes, why are apes still here? Wouldn't they all be man?>>>

I have brought up this SAME question numerous times and still have no answer.

People want to force science to dispell that there is a God and will cram that square peg into a round hole all day.

Then you're not listening. Speciation -- a basic concept of the theory of evolution --- explains how one population splits in two, with one branch evolving in one direction (in this case into humans) and the other in another (in this case into chimpanzees and bonobos). You should do a little reading about speciation before you come on this thread and tell us that scientists have given you no answers.

Strawman. I believe in God and accept evolution.

You are assuming that man is the "end goal" of evolution. Two genera (ex: australopithicus, pan) no matter how closely related would never end up evolving in to the same descendant species.
