This is something for thought.
If man evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? Why haven't they all become human, if that was God's plan? Apes are an animal, which is what some say we have evolved from? What about the fact Genesis is clear on the fact that God created animals, then man? Adam named them all, correct? Animals were named by man, not an intelligent animal. That I think we can all agree on.

Oh yes, you have us there...
"This is something for thought. "If man evolved from apes, then why are there still apes? "
Man didn't evolve from apes because man is still an ape .
"Why haven't they all become human, if that was God's plan? "
Probably because evolution isn't linear. There are no evolutionary goals beyond survival -- not survival of the fittist, just and only survival.
"What about the fact Genesis is clear on the fact that God created animals, then man? "
A) I thought it was the other way around
B) THEN PERHAPS THAT MEANS THE BIBLE MIGHT NOT BE RIGHT EVER THINK ABOUT THAT?
"Adam named them all, correct? "
If by "Adam" you mean "Man in general," then, yeah, he did.
"Animals were named by man, not an intelligent animal. That I think we can all agree on. "
No we can't. Man is and always will be an intelligent animal.

Wiki:all animals, with 8 hours of sleep a day and 1 per 15 minutes (it must be hard to come up with names after the first few), at would take about 101562.5 hours, which is about 278 years. That is only for the beetles. About 40% of the (described) insects are beetles, which means that he will need another 600 years to finish all the insects. We haven't even started the mammals and fish yet. He only lived to somewhere around 900, so it will not/did not happen.
"If man evolved from apes, then why are there still apes?"
How many times will we see some ass-hat suddenly think he's found the single most devastating argument against evolution, post "Why are there still apes?" as if it's never been posted before, and pretend to be a genius?

Oh no! Not this tired old argument again!
Genesis is NOT clear on that fact, Genesis chapters 1 and 2 contradict each other on who was created first.
Gee, we've never heard THAT one before....
If dogs are descended from wolves, how come there are still wolves?
If Protestants came from Catholics, how come there are still Catholics?
If white Americans and Australians are both descended from Europeans, how come there are still Europeans?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
