It's not a religion. Religions are based on faith, science is based on fact. Your religion says we come from dirt, that has to be worse than monkeys. And "thin air" is not scientific at all. Things don't just "pop" into existence, that is something more like creationism, which, last time I checked, isn't SCIENTIFIC.

You do not understand science. Science cannot answer that question. It can only say how thing occurred not why. In regards to "where we can from" that question is not testable, and as such, science can only say "these are the most likely possibilities", but it can never say the exact way.

Let's talk about evolution, since that is the underlying question.

It is not against Christianity to agree with certain theories of evolution. There are several theories to evolution. Some are compatible with Christianity, some are not. Belief in anyone of them, even if a wrong one, is not serious enough to get you damned (unless it causes you to act in certain ways that are contrary to the Christian life.) Remember belief is only part of salvation, you have to do something with your belief.

As a note: If you read Genesis Ch 1 in Hebrew you will notice that the verb that is used for "God created..." switches back and forth from having God as its exclusive object to being a more open ended. The verb that means "God personally did the creating" is applied at the beginning of creation and at the creation of man. The other verbs are along the lines of "called forth from" an indication that while God willed certain creation to be so, it was the process of creation (ie evolution) that actually formed that which was created.

Also you should know that certain theories of evolution have a long and strong history within Christianity. Look up the Monk Gregory Mendel and his studies on genetics. Also you should be aware that Catholics had an idea of evolution millennia before Darwin.

Let me quote at length from FUNDAMENTALS OF CATHOLIC DOGMA

1. The materialist doctrine of evolution...is contrary to Revelation.

2. The doctrine of evolution based on the theistic conception of the world, which traces matter and life to God's causality and assumes that organic being, developed from originally created seed-powers (St. Augustine) or from stem forms (doctrine of descent), according to God's plan, is compatible with the doctrine of Revelation. However, as regards to MAN, a special creation by God is demanded, which must extend at least to the spiritual soul. Individual Fathers, especially St. Augustine, accepted a certain development of living creatures. Proceeding from the assumption that God creates everything at one time (cf. Ecclus. 18.1), they taught that God brought a certain part of His creation into existence in a finished state, while He created others in the form of primitive seeds (rationes, seminales, or causales) from which they were gradually to develop. Those Fathers and Schoolmen who accepted a development, conceived a development of the individual species of living things each from a particular primitive form created by God; but modern theories of evolution (descendent theory) conceives that development as from one species to another. According as these give priority to evolution from a plurality of original forms or from one single stem-form (primitive form) one speaks of a many-stemmed (polyphyletic) or single-stemmed (monophyletic) development. From the stand point of the doctrine of evolution, either form is possible.
