No it is not. Nobody, not one person on this planet knows the answer... This much is certain.

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).

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...

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.

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.

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.
So how do you explain the fact that people, the other great apes, and no other animals, have precisely the same mutation (a frame shift) in the gene for an enzyme needed to make ascorbic acid (vitamin C)?
