Really interesting post, certainly one with more questions than answers.
Like Franky, I personally don't believe in God and do believe in evolution.
But I'm just not sure we know enough about our history to give too many conclusive answers - there's often talk about a "missing link" in the fossil record of human evolution.
And isn't it fairly well documented that evolution is a VERY slow process? (Too slow for humans to have evolved in such a short time frame).
I've read different opinions though and it seems even leading scientists can't decide (or simply do not know).
My personal opinion is that our history is and will remain a mystery.
The link below is just an example of how alternative history just might be possible.
After all, it's more believable than the bible!

Just read the thread on global warming a bit further down and it's certainly a hot topic (sorry, couldn't resist!)
But here's something to consider.
In 1988 Thatcher founded the Intergovernmental Panel for Climate Change.
Their job wasn't to research climate change, but to prove global warming was man made. She campaigned tirelessly to governments around the world that the earth was getting hotter, and that C02 emissions and industry was responsible.
She was a huge advocate of nuclear power, had well documented issues with Britains coal industry and a reluctance to rely on middle eastern oil or Russian gas.
She basically told a massive lie, with no significant scientific evidence to support her claims. But given her scientific background, people believed her.
In 2003 she reversed her opinion. Writing in her book, Statecraft, she said she very much doubts that global warming is man made, and that solar activity and other natural factors are responsible.
What I find incredible is nobody seems to care.
Just another example of how the worlds leaders can manipulate the masses to achieve their goals.
