I believe there is a God, the creator, omnipotent. I can't answer all your questions bec. I'm not God He has his own reasons. Like I said, our mind is limited and we can't answer everything. Days for God could be hundreds, thousands, millions or billions of years for us. Dinosaurs were probably destroyed by God bec he wanted to create humans, who knows. All I know is, presently, we are the supreme beings of this planet, with our minds, intelligence, looks (just check out the hot or not thread ), etc. and we did not come from some organism, apes or whatever. We will know all of these answers when its our time to meet God.
By the way, I'm just curious, What do you believe in?
I believe in evolution. I believe that the universe was created from a singularity. From infinite density and temperature the universe expanded, created stars, eventually planets. On our planet life started from simple cells. After 3 billion years simple animals finally arrived. Fish then amphibians, reptiles, mammals and birds. Early humans arrived about 2.5 million years ago but modern humans only arrived in the last few hundred thousand years.
Now I'm completely open to the assertion that God is what I referred to above as infinite density and temperature. But the rest of it (after the singularity) pretty much plays out as science has discovered and explained. There may still be gaps and there may even be some mistakes. But what I like about science is that it has to survive "peer review". If something is discovered that contradicts a "scientifict fact", it ceases to be scientifict fact.
Even if, as you assert, man's mind is limited and we cannot answer everything, I dislike it when it becomes an excuse against further enlightenment. I'm sure God did not want us to remain ignorant about our world. It is in learning and discovering that makes our modern life today possible.
Since from your viewpoint man did not evolve from apes, do you believe we were put on this earth as we are now about 200,000 years ago? I'd like to find out how, specifically, you believe we got here. I don't think you believe in the Adam and Eve story, or am I wrong about that? Also, how much of my "history of the universe/earth" above do you agree/disagree with?
