No it is not. Nobody, not one person on this planet knows the answer... This much is certain.
Science is a process. A method. We share our information with each other and with non-scientists through peer-reviewed publications, book, articles, and the like. Even through web forums such as this. And there is no requirement that any one person knows all the answers. It would be silly to expect that. The best we can do is provide a good method, and the scientific method has been far more successful than anything else.
A lot of points of view have been discarded from science long ago--they simply did not meet the standards.
You cannot set standards if you don't have answers.
There is no more evidence that humans are evolved from common ancestors to apes than there is that humans were marooned here by extraterrestrials (or the product of some extra-dimensional engineering intelligence).
First, the scientific method is a way to arrive at answers. It is not perfect, but its the best we have. There is a lot more scientific evidence for common ancestors of apes and humans than there is for aliens starting life on earth.
I could tell you tales of grad school...
Grad school? Save the hubris for someone who is impressed by it... logic is my only concern and the evolutionists are coming up short on their metrology...
Hubris? How about humor? That was an attempt at humor in response to your comment about dancing around the totems. Are you so zealous in your cause that you have no humor left? If so, that's pretty sad.
And, neither of the two popular sides in this current debate are using that method...

I am an atheist and believe neither of you. It just so happens that the lack of logic is weighted heavier with the zealotry of evolutionists. I don't find it amusing, either...

No, there is not. I will give just a few concrete facts...
Humans are the only creatures that have:
...actually journeyed off this planet...devised artificial transportation.
...conquered disease.
...not remained naked.
...artificially enhanced their sensory capabilities.
...become dissatisfied with their own mortality.
I could go on with the facts, but why bother?
You are too busy with your own immaculate conceptions.
While you are bashing the creationists and defending the sucking up of their grant money (and the rest of everyone else's) to actually find answers, you forgot logic - - which is the foundation of the scientific method.
