Man and Apes evolved from the same branch, we seperated paths during evolution and thats why there are different specials of apes and monkeys. Evolution takes millions of years to happen, its not a 5 year deal so we will never see something evolve (other then diseases) in our life time.
Apes survive because they're near the top of the food chain where they live, it wasn't until we started to hunt them was they in any real danger. If apes and humans lived in the same area (Europe for example) millions of years ago there would be no apes, but they don't, they live in jungles where few humans live in.
I find the evidence of evolution far greater than creationism, just the thought of humans and all the animals in the world were created instantly is illogical when if you look at the animal kingdom you can see how animals adapted to their enviroment.
Also, if there was a God why hasn't he/she/it sent a prophet in over 1600 years? You'd think with all the questions of faith that he would answer his/her/it's loved ones.
