But when you understand how vast the universe is, and how un-ape-like most other life forms in it must be, then the idea of an "ape-like god" becomes completely laughable.

"When" you understand that? But we don't understand that. We don't know that there is necessarily life on any other planet, which is a scenario that does not require god. The specific conditions that gave rise to life on earth might just be that improbable. And if there's only life on one planet, you can only be born on that planet. Not to mention, assuming there is life on other planets, it might naturally require the same conditions and therefor might evolve in a similar way. There might just be other planets that basically just have more boring 'ol humans on them, with their own extinct dinosaurs and shit.
Point is agnosticism is still the logical answer. Claiming absolute certainty of a god and claiming absolute certainty of no god are two sides of the same coin.
