When members of a species evolve to adapt to a certain part of their environment(say a new predator) it doesn't necessarily mean that the entire species adapts. The ones that did adapt could eventually become a unique subspecies, and given even greater time a new species altogether.

We didn't evolve from apes. We both evolved from the same ancestor. The goal is not to be "human" the goal is to be the best able to survive in which ever area you live in.
Again why don't you pose evolution questions in the biology section and why the heck don't do you some basic reading on the subject.

Because some apes stayed apes, the rest evolved.

While I don't believe in evolution, this arguement is silly because it shows you don't understand evolution.
Evolutionists believe that apes and humans evolved from the same group, but even if they said that we evolved from apes it would only be a certain type of ape in a certain area of the world. So in effect it is possible within the framework of their theory for it to be possible .
The 2nd Law of Thermodynamics is also not the best arguement.

Firstly, we didn't; apes and humans evolved separately from a hominid ancestor, now extinct. Secondly, even if we had, there would still be an ecological slot for apes; the appearance of a new species may, but need not, cause the extinction of the old one. Evolution is now a proven fact; proof details available on request.

For the same reason there are different varieties of what used to be wolves - now known as dogs. In any case, we and apes evolved from common ancestors, just as creationists evolved from smarter humans to have generally smaller cranial capacity. And to have the odd Falwell-Robertson dead-eyed smirk syndrome.

We share 98% of 'primate' DNA.
This signifies that we did indeed origionate from some specie of primate, but it appears natural selection and millions of years have filled in the gaps.
There are still primates, because of the courses of natural selection in some environments.
If a environment has a certain 'pressure', organisms will adapt, this being one of the main principles of evolution.
Putting it simply;
We're not taken from every singly primate, and the primates back so many millions of years, were different than what we see today.
Hope this helped =]

There are different kinds of apes. Our species was more superior so they eventually evolved into the humans we are today.

of course we didn't evolve from apes. we were made from the clay by the great god Jahyeh and then he blowed air up the aarse of the clay figures which brought about the first man. don't you believe these scientists and don't dare to read any books!

That proves y we didn't evolve from apes. Also keep in mind the Law of Entopy or the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics. Evolution is just a theory without any evidence, but yet schools teach it as fact. Creationism is based on fact and faith. I believe that there is a creator that created everything.
