Yes my friend, one has to do with the creation of man, the other with the creation of the universe. Although they are different events, they do have a link . . . He's called the Creator!!

Ahah . . . we have found the missing link!! God did create the universe and He did create man!!

By the way, no one has ever been able to answer this question to my satisfaction . . . If man eveloved from apes, why are there still apes? (NOTE, I will not accept the answer that the democratic party needs all the members it can get!!).

Ok, I'm game to give it a try.

The short answer: Man did not evolve from any current species of ape.

A longer, still very simplified answer:
The various biological and anthropological data indicate that Man and the current great apes evolved from an earlier common ancestral primate species, diverging over generations as each specialized for their changing ecological niches. The progenitor species is itself extinct, replaced by the divergent families of speciated descendants.
Moreover, the progenitor species was a divergence (or, as seems to be the case, based on genetic analysis rather than morphological comparison, was a SET of divergences) from an even earlier common ancestral group. That earlier group gave rise to the brances which eventually speciated into lesser and greater primate groups: the monkeys, the apes, and the hominids.

The above is a clear answer to your stated question. I am highly surprised that no one has ever answered your question in this manner. Whether or not you accept this explanation is irrelevant to its clarity.

If you do not accept this answer to your specific question (reminder "If man eveloved from apes, why are there still apes?") then it would seem your "satisfaction" is not derived from a desire for clarity or rational analysis.

If this is indeed the case, if indeed you remain "unsatisfied" on this point, this would indicate that the only explanation which would "satisfy" you would have to be one which kowtows to some kind of emotional and/or indoctrinated bias.

I cannot address those terms, and have no desire to try.

There are still apes because there are still environments in which their populations can continue to reproduce.

no one has ever been able to answer this question to my satisfaction

That could be because you're looking for an answer that fits within your own strawman conceptions rather than allowing for the possibility that your notion of how evolution works is inaccurate, which is what seems to be the case.

Why shouldn't there be? Seriously, demonstrate your mastery of Darwinism and show how the ToE predicts there should not be animals after a speciation event that resemble the species that split. Good luck.
