So, we've got a theory, right? It's called evolution, and it's been confirmed all over the place, to such a degree that arguing over it now would be absurd. And we've confirmed that many of the current species we have today do have ancestry in common with other species in numerous different groupings, including humans and the other great apes.
What we're left with, then, is a whole ton of evidence supporting the idea that life evolves, an additional ton of evidence demonstrating the interconnectedness of life, and a natural inference based on the available evidence that this process extends back. What we don't have is any serious evidence discordant with that claim, nor any evidence of anything happening in the past that might supplant such a claim as the most probable solution.
And yet you're sitting here saying that you don't believe the most probable, supported thing, because the science you're being fed from creation.com tells you it isn't supported.
One wonders exactly how much mainstream science you've looked at, on this issue, before you decided that it's not supported. Now, I'll fully admit there's no silver bullet on this issue, but science doesn't operate on absolute certainty and there's a hell of a lot more support for common ancestry than against it.
