Pretending?
Who's doing the pretending? Are you really so naive to think that all the relevant issues surrounding TOE are totally resolved? Research is constantly reversing yesterday's facts.
You readily admit there are things that are unresolved in "science" but I'm willing to bet the neo-Darwinian streak in you prohibits you from inserting "theory of evolution" into that same sentence. Care to prove me wrong? As for the ideas floating around with answers, you provided one stock answer to one question. Brilliant. You sound like a creationist who says "God did it".
What are you wise-guy, some type of clairvoyant? I don't think it's a matter of you not having the time to give the answers to the questions, I think it's a matter of them not being available at this particular point in time, at least in any substantive manner. The research is ongoing in these areas, the results inconclusive and issues are not TOTALLY resolved.
I've spent the better part of the last five years reading everything I can get my hands on. Yes, I'll admit I'm not a biologist but I have the ability to seperate facts from conjecture. I've read viewpoints as diverse as Dawkins' "Climbing Mount Improbable", Gould's "The Panda's Thumb", and some Denton, Behe and even managed to stomach some stuff I'd rather not mention.
Great! Should I do a Google search for it?
do not pretend that there is no research on these topics and that there are no ideas floating around with answers to these questions.

You just never looked for them seriously. All you probably ever did was a google search or something similar.

and if you want to read about evolution in my own words, you might want to look up my latest paper. I mention the word evolution a few times in that one.
