That response baffles me. I've heard the "Why are there still monkeys?" line several times, and I can't make sense of it. It cuts one of two ways:
1) If - arguendo I really am descended from apes, it makes no more sense to expect them to have vanished than it does to expect my parents to have vanished. I'm descended from them, too.
2) Closer to the truth, humans and apes are like cousins, descended from one metaphorical grandparent. But, again, quite why anyone would ask "If you're descended from the same grandparent, why are there still cousins?" is beyond me.

To anyone who does believe in ID:
Why, in that case, is the mammalian eye so badly designed? (The squid eye is much more effective, since it doesn't have the optic nerve passing right through the retina.)
Why are mammalian lungs so inefficient? (Bird lungs do the job much more effectively.)
Oh, yes: fistulae. Explain that one, you twats.
