FalconsFan, evolutionists have theorys for most of your questions (why there are still apes, etc), but they cannot find any "missing links" or a "geological column" (they just don't exist!).
Also, LK might be able to answer this, but how can Amino Acids be created? People have tried, but it's impossible (for them to survive at least), I might be getting this wrong, but you *may* know what I'm talking about (this is all from memory of several years ago), Amino Acids can't form in oxygen, BUT life HAS to have oxygen, is there some exact moment in time where both oxygen came into existence as well as Amino Acids forming? I'll do some research and rephrase that accordingly.
There is just too much factors involved for evolution to work (especially concerning mutations and the 2nd Law of Thermodynamics).
