Ummm you need a better understanding of evolution, because it does not state that at all tbh. It is a gradual series of processes.
The great apes came from their ancestors which have long since gone extinct.
We have many fossils showing ancestors of all great apes, including humans, we just haven't found the
common ancestor though we have found many links on that chain, including Ardipithecus kadabba, Orrorin tugenensis, Sahelanthropus tchadensis...Science is a process of finding evidence and figuring out the facts from that evidence...it does not claim to know everything, as your book does, but instead finds evidence in the natural world and comes to conclusions based on that evidence...there is no shame on a scientist to say they don't know, because it really only means they don't know
yet...we have been studying for a couple hundred years a process that has been happening for millions upon millions of years, only one as arrogant as the faithful believer in God demands to know everything right now. If you are disbelieving all the evidence there is for evolution based on
one piece of evidence that hasn't been found then shame on you for your foolishness, that is like saying aliens don't exist because it's 2014 and we
still haven't seen any...if this is what you base your belief on then your 'proof' for God is gonna get less and less over the years as we discover more and more.
The God of the gaps is my favourite God...it is so silly.
