Is there enough evidence that man had evolved from apes. If so ,can the apes existed by chance without a creator. If that is not the case, then can man just existed without a creator?

Newton's Third Law of Motion states "For every action there is equal and opposite reaction." Every action in the universe was caused by a prior equal and opposite reaction. Evolution is just another set of actions and reactions. If we logically follow each and every action and reaction back to the beginning then logically there has to be a first action without a prior equal and opposite reaction. This first action was completely independent of outside forces. Catholics call this action was the Will of God. With love in Christ.

The short answer is that evolution presents a very strong body of argument that has no requirement of god anywhere. It shows how the huge diversity of life we see today, and in the fossil record, could have come to be with no designer, no plan, no magical supernatural being. - And though evolution does not explicitly say there is or was no creator, it doesn't give us any reason to toss one into the mix. If we do, why not say that the Mayan creation story is the true one? or the Inuit one? or the Zoroastrian one? magic pixies did it? or Aliens from Uranus? With no evidence to support their claims, they are all exactly equally likely to be true (and that is very, VERY UN-likely, btw).

although the link from man to apes has yet to be completed, needless to say that if evolution were true, God can still be said to have indirectly made man through evolution. God could have created a primordial thing to which every living thing could have evolved from. MarkP.

Kelana, evolution theory doesn't posit that humans came from apes but that apes and humans evolved independently from a common ancestor. Actually there's a case to be made that evolution theory doesn't so much posit that humans came from apes as much as it suggests that humans ARE a type of ape. Darwin, by the way, didn't reject the idea of a primordial, big-C Creator. Many people seem to think he was an atheist. If anything he was a Deist. +
