If we all evolved from ape ancesters, then why are thier still monkey's?

Both humans and Apes were quite different than they appear today when the evolutionary branching is purported to have occured. It is believed that the common ancestor bore a resemblance to todays lemur but was somewhat larger. Fossil evidence is relatively clear (if sparce) concerning the actual timeframes and physical changes.
One example of a contradiction in the scriptures is the Story of Noah. Even taking into account the possability of far fewer species (unlikely) the ability to build a craft capable of fitting the estimated number of creatures is simply unfathomable to my mind. Let alone the food storage, waste removal, and logistic nightmare put upon those seven humans. The architectural skill required to build a boat, literally miles in dimension without causing collapse would have been exceedingly difficult, and would have required multiple lifetimes (even at 400 yrs.) and destroyed inumerable forests.
I find the chances of this story bieng fact......pretty much Zero.
