Intelligent Design vs. Evolution

Intelligent design? Evolution?
Whatever. I'm not going to debate it. It's not that big of an issue to me.
Nobody really knows where we came from, where the plants, animals, bacteria and even the Earth, planets and universe came from. Theories abound, but there is no solid proof of a 'Big Bang', or for that matter, an Adam and Eve.

People eons ago created all sorts of lore and mythology. Take a look at astrology. They made up stories to base characters on star patterns or asterisms in the night sky. What's to keep them from making up a myth based on a woman being created from a spare rib taken from a man?

Scientific nuts think too much of themselves to believe in a 'higher power', and religious nuts think too much of themselves to think anything could be possible without a 'higher power'.

My only question is this:
If man eveolved from apes, why are there still apes?
