You had me going for a minute there. You really ought to include a /sarcasm tag, otherwise folks will get the idea you're a complete idiot.

Right Junior. Only "smart" folks allow "scientist" to build complete skeletons out of a single pig's tooth or a skullcap and call it "intelligent" or "proof". You can kiss my tail-fin, sir.

By the way, you forgot to answer the question. Why are there still worms? Moths? Fish? Turtles? Birds? Monkeys? Frogs? After all, didn't they have to "evolve" to survive?

That's a simple question to answer. The answer is the same as this question: Why, if Americans are largely descended from Europeans, are there still Europeans?

The two groups split, and each went its own way.

At the point where our ancestors split from the apes, they stayed in the forests while our ancestors expanded (or were pushed) into the grasslands. From there the two groups diverged, with the ape line changing little (as they were already well-adapted) and the grassland group (us) changing considerably to meet the new conditions.

Which scientist built a complete skeleton from a skullcap or pig's tooth. Be specific now, as we wouldn't want folks to think you were just making stuff up.

As for why there are still worms, etc., those critters are specifically adapted for their particular ecological niches. Part of evolution is adaptation to an environment.
