Those are all good responses to arguments made by creationists.
I call us monkey meat bags because the best science we can come up with cannot definitively answer the question of our origin, or what humans were experiencing for vast portions of our ancient history. I do not discount evolution because it is well established, but we just do not know for certain what are all of the factors that led to life as we know it, and those faithful who claim to know have enormous egos and cannot be trusted entirely. Scientists are not always objective with the data, and also cannot be trusted if they have something to gain from publicising one conclusion over another. (public and private grant money) Look at the highly profitable science behind global warming. One conclusion gets public money because it generates expensive and powerful legislation, the other is discounted entirely to the point of outright hostility and hatred. It's not even a choice, going against the grain there is career suicide, just the same as scientists who examine the question of some kind of intervention in our evolutionary past.
I am ok with being a monkey meat bag, it just makes our achievements all the more impressive when we make them in spite of ourselves. We may have to accept the fact that we will never be anything more than that, even as we expand our civilization out into the solar system and produce nearly miraculous technology. It is a matter of humility.
