Science could be just as much a religion as creationists are. Why are we to trust so called evidence and sketches in the rocks if in Egypt, we have wall carvings of aliens wearing hats to hide their big heads with big brains? So if we accept ape to man, we also accept alien generated men, which could be equally absurd.
A lot of that evidence is just taking a step backwards in discovering what put us here.
There could be combinations of factors, some alien visitors, and some Darwinian magic.
But with the whole telescope, why do guardian angels and spirit guided tell us that they come from a certain galaxy? And why did dreamers in medieval times claim to see fairies, whereas now, we see alien abductees?
Anything can be sold to fool us about he paradigm of anything. So I would say that all of science is limited by the faulty powers of observations, and the reasons that we construct to explain those so called observations.

Similarly, when theoretical physicists dream of a utopian golden age of scientific discovery where humans have evolved to the point of mastering hyperspace and bending the universe to their will, the value of it is not that logical calculations indicate humans are too insignificant for this to be our destiny, but rather the value is in the theory itself of creating a vastly unprecedented and advanced society, the architectural model of how humanity could evolve and what humanity should achieve. Achieving this in the imagination, the world of the mind would be the focus that could manifest itself into a better reality. The value is in the journey of humans becoming the lords of creation rather than the destination.
