Because not all apes turned into humans so some apes remained to keep reproducing. And just a question for the other answerers: If god created everything, surely he could have not created himself bringing up my point: Who created god, but then who created the thing, that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,that created the thing,.... that created god?

Good question. Man did not evolve from apes God created man in his own image. Think about it when's the last time you saw an ape build a house?

Because the modern apes are our cousins, not our ancesters. The evolution's theory let us that all hominids comes from a primal branch, but genetic paleoarcheologist had discovered that from the diferences on the Y cromosome over the geographical population, there are most probably two branches, that unite the Homo sapiens with the Homo neanderthalis. One of them, coming from Libia and the other one, from middle Africa. In a certain moment of history, both group united and mixed their characteristics.. . And about the creation's theory, it's just bull+++t. First of all, you must prove that there's an divine intelligence modifying and designing the entire Univers. If you can't prove it, then it's just a myth. A matter of faith.

from an evolutionary point of view, we didn't evolve from apes, but we evolved from a common ancestor. and there are things alive today that are "millions of years old" (like ginko, it has been called a "living fossil" because it hasn't changed since early in the fossil record) but from my point of view it is because we were created by God. and in reply to those who say that creation is not science, i'll agree with you, but it does have much scientific evidence supporting it. but if you say that creation is not science, you also must admit that evolution is not science. both are based on interpretation of the same facts, and neither one is repeatable or observable, so neither one is actually science.
