Only if you accept on faith, the theory of evolution, do you accept as 'fact' that apes and humans have a common ancestor. Nobody knows how humans came to be here but scientific evidence dictates that evolution is not the likely cause.
Actually there is evidence of humans existing millions of years ago. In the case of this example:

The 'indistinguishable from modern humans footprints' are found in the same rocks as our 'ancestors'. The rocks themselves are dated at 3.6 million years. Even if the dating is wrong, the fact that our 'ancestors' co-existed with us seems to be highly problematic for the theory of evolution!
The 'exact figure' does 'often change' so it would be foolish to say that something is 'known'.
Who knows where they came from? Perhaps they were created? Even if there were no -known- explanations that does mean that they 'must have evolved' as you assume.
The rest of your post rests upon the assumption that one species -can- evolve into another, this is simply not true, as has been well established:
http://www.scienceagainstevolution.org/v3i9f.htm
As the above article makes clear there are well-known and well-understood limits to the genetic variation within any species gene-pool. It simply wont extend to the evolution of a new species as this would require -new- genetic information.
"And so on, and so on..." ..until what? Something 'sprung up from the ground' ?

Spontaneous generation is a facet of evolutionary theory (if they're being honest) and has been falsified. As you dont accept that something can 'magically spring up' as is required by evolutionary theory, no matter how far back you push this event, how do you get the ball rolling as it were?

In all honesty, no person who actually understands evolution theory would ever accept that spontaneous generation is a facet of it.
Another HUGE point people need to realize is that evolution is not used to explain where life came from. It is a process by which original life has changed (or to use the more accurate term, mutated) to form a new branch of life. This is often called a new species but what determines one species from another is still being argued in the scientific community. I.e. Chimps and humans are ~98-99% genetically related but considered two separate species, whereas other animals can be even less related but considered the same species.
I think the reality is that most people just won't understand unless they learn for themselves the teachings in biology, genetics, biochemistry, cell biology, evolution and learn what it is to work in science.
And that is why as a whole, humans are doomed.
P.S. If you talk to a real scientist and not some paid for hack, they will completely agree that science does require faith, as does everything we do in life, but that that is not enough alone. Science never stops trying to advance/disprove theories.
