That's fine. Science can cope with error - but tell me, what's your alternative?
Evolution works as an explanation, however much you may not like your intelligence coming from non-intelligent origins.
But it may be wrong, there's no denying that. Many scientific theories are proved to be incorrect. Even Newton got it wrong own give us something to replace it.
And, please - no gods thanks. They aren't scientific.

Every living thing, (animals and plants included) is in reality a spiritual being, eternal without beginning or end, and the body they inhabit, is not their true self, but a vehicle for there exspression of life.
This universe is just one out of countless millions, and life is existing throughout the cosmos in each and every universe.
The spiritual creative principle, that some choose to call god, is the source of all things seen and unseen.
The purpose of life is one fold, and that is to express life on behalf of the source of life.
The creative principle/god is non material, but spiritual energy, and spiritual energy is the superior energy, and material energy is the inferior energy.
The living being is superior energy, the same as god, and has all the same characteristics of god, but in lesser capacity.
Because god and the living being, are one and the same, it is impossible for god to judge or condemn one self.
Even though the living being and god are one and the same, in that sense, the living being eternally still has, their independant identity, (ego)
In the mind of god there is no condemnation, judgement, sin, right, or wrong.
The religious teachings of the world, are mans juvenile and erroneous attempt to descibe god, and have power over the people, authored by the ruling class.
Because the living beings display emotions, and are sentient and have intelligence, it is understood that god is the source, and also is sentient.
After death of the body, the body is disposed of by burial or cremation, and the body breaks down over time and goes back into the earth for recycling, and the spiritual living being takes another birth, in another family according to their past activities.
If a person is born defected or underprivledged, it is to be understood that they have created that situation themselves, through their past negative activities in there previous life.
God is not concerned about the mudane activities of people, but is the loving wellwisher to everyone.
The universes and species are created by god, through gods inconceivable creative potency, and to the general lay person this process will remain a incomprehensible mystery, but to the fully enlightened soul it may be known.
God has given each person complete freedom, to the extent that they can even determine their own fate ( relative fate)and meaning to life.
The activities of each person, creates their own personal reality, and no two people see the world exactly the same, and if a person lives a pious life, they will create a pleasant birth in the next life, and if they are not pious, they will have created a less pleasant birth.
All religions teach us that we must serve god, but this is false, because it is gods desire to serve us, and it is gods only fiunction in relationship to us.
We can better understand that, by knowing that, when we live our life, we are expressing god through us........god is experiencing god/self through our lives.
In the mind of god, there is no such thing as punishment, for god is no respector of persons, and the impersonal law> (the law of cause and effect) is the process by which god allows the living being to reap what they sow.
It is possible to have a personal loving relationship with god, but it is not demanded, and god certainly doesnt require worship, in the sense of a duty.
It is beneficial to have a understanding of ones relationship to god, as it lends itself to the feelings of serenity, peace, bliss, contentment, wonderment, security, fearlessness, cognition and love.
