No, it makes or breaks the entire discussion. There's no supposing of how we came to be, since this question has been answered by science. And there's a reason why I talk about animals and recent cognition experiments, since their results debunk your lofty stance of humans being in any way unique when it comes to feelings, morals and problem solving. We are evolved, that's all, but what made us is present in other species as well.
As long as you don't inform yourself about scientific discoveries and only take your belief of humans being special as guidance, your arguments are null and void.
