You can chit chat, piss and moan, and whine all you want about how 'stupid' creationists are. It's not something you're capable of looking at even through your own scientific methods. God created science, God created reason, God is also not bound by time, and he's not finite.

Creationists aren't stupid, just mislead. God did not create science. Science is not a tangible thing, it's a method to find out how things work. It's about having an idea and testing it to see if it's right and then retesting it over and again to make sure prior results weren't just coincidence. There was no moment in history where we went from having no science to having science. Just like everything else, it evolved through trial and error.

Is God measurable through a thermometer? No, but it's obvious the difference in people who have a faith in God, and have God acting in their lives vs those who refuse to allow God to work in their lives.

What's the obvious difference? I'm willing to bet you can't look at any one person in a crowd and tell me what their beliefs are, except for the people who hand out fliers that say I'm going to burn in hell when I'm trying to see a baseball game.

Just because we haven't quantified it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Just like you can't see the wind, you can't see gravity, you can feel their effects, and we have found a way to quantify them, so you believe it. So, if a 'scientist' puts a number on how much God was in someone, based on their actions, and quantified it you'd then believe in God?

We can feel wind and gravity's effects, that's how we know they exist. They can be measured in a repeatable, consistent way that every reasonable person can agree on, but I'm pretty sure I would have known they were there even if no one put a name on them. I cannot say that about god.
As far as your questions about why there aren't monkey human hybrids is because, in fact, there were. If you do a little reading on the subject you will find many, many missing links that have been around in the last half million years or so. Climate conditions, inter species relations and other factors have since eliminated them. Just as monkeys today fight with other monkeys, our ancestors fought with the other branches of the evolutionary chain for survival. And for your point about why there aren't people with higher IQ's, we are the people with higher IQ's and better social and communication skills that survived all of that.
And if you need further evidence of how this works, just look at the different races of people. It's no coincidence that a black man and a black woman have black babies nor a white man and a white woman have white babies. How many genocides of entire populations have there been, just in our recorded history?
