Percipient and Coragyps,
There is no requirement that species go extinct, nor is there any requirement that they evolve. Some species have been around for a very long period of time.
Evolutionary change is driven by environmental pressures. Some species have somehow always found friendly niches through the ages, and so haven't changed.
By the way, these aren't your questions. They appear at many Creationist websites and have been asked here many, many times. They're terribly naive and rhetorical and are presented to the ignorant in order to prove just how stupid current scientific views are, as if any rational person would actually hold views so full of such obvious contradictions.
Am I not aloud to ask questions like these? You know why these questions come up is because evolution is impossible because there is no evidence. Even though year after year it will be taught to children. And it tells them that there are no absolutes. Truth is what you want it to be. Its like the religions of the world. How can they lead to the same God? They cannot because its nonsense. There can only be one way. And when we look at history it fits with the Bible no matter how much mankind will try to to remove it.
The problem with school is that they taught me I evolved from a lower animal and everything came together by chance. This is what comes to my mind when I think of scientists who believe in evolution and wil not even consider the absolutes of the Bible. Even though I post this I say this as one who understands nothing about the origins of life because knowone can except what the creator has revealed to us. I at one time rejected the Bible. We reject the Bible because we love darkness and we know inside we are convicted by the Lord because of our sin. It says He has set eternity in our hearts.
Romans 1:16-23 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Gentile. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, "The just shall live by faith." For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men,
who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, because what may be known of God is manifest in them, for God has shown it to them. For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. Professing to be wise, they became fools, and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man--and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.

Psalm 8:3-9 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen-- Even the beasts of the field, The birds of the air, And the fish of the sea That pass through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

2 Peter 3:3-9
knowing this first: that scoffers will come in the last days, walking according to their own lusts, and saying, "Where is the promise of His coming? For since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of creation."
For this they willfully forget: that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of water and in the water, by which the world that then existed perished, being flooded with water. But the heavens and the earth which are now preserved by the same word, are reserved for fire until the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, do not forget this one thing, that with the Lord one day is as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance.
