I think there is a point where science and religion meet to provide an ultimate answer. I don't know if we humans will ever be able to conceptualize that point and if we ever do, the means we use will be far beyond the conventions of science and religion as we know them now.
In A Brief History of Time, Hawking wrote that a theory of everthing would allow us to "know the mind of God".
Now he has doubts about that statement, thinking that "maybe it is not possible to formulate the theory of the Universe in a finite number of statements."
I know we're a fair way off getting any answers, but we must keep pushing on!
btw BBtB, I don't think humans evolved from apes - rather modern apes and modern humans evolved from common ancestors. Also, there's no guarantee that a "stronger" species will survive over a "weaker" species. It's about which species was "fit" to survive in a particular environment. Again the terminology can be confusing.
