Nope wasn't trolling at all. I regard science as I do religion. Created by man and thus it's fallible. At many different times in history. Scientists have had theories that were hypothesized, tested, and widely accepted as being the most accurate explanation by most of the scientific community, only to be rejected later as new evidence and new forms of testing become available.
Is it possible that we evolved from primordial ooze? Sure. But as of yet they haven't found the definitive missing link between apes and humans. For all we know an alien named "god" decided earth was his 10th grade science project and decided to play legos with DNA. He waited until the last night because he's a procrastinator (which could be the equivalent of 1 Gregorian calendar week to us) and ran out of ideas on what to do with the platypus. Sure .. that's possible too. There's less evidence to support it, but I can't exclude it either because Science cannot definitively say with 100% certainty that Humans evolved from apes.
