Great question and using logic to determine the answer, helps us to understand a little bit more about how the universe works.
The universe works like a machine and has worked the way it does forever and it will not change. This machine we call the universe produced every being, all of the planets, stars and all matter that exists. Again, thinking logically; we must at least concede that evolution does exist. Things change. Just like all machines, the universe, as the different particles that makes it what it is rotate and orbit, generates heat, which result in the changes. However, regardless of what we used to be, how we looked or thought or even if we thought at one time in the past…we were all there! We have always been here in some format or another since the beginning.
Let's consider that our own society in the future had advanced to a point of making people (robots etc.) who could walk, talk, think, learn and evolve just like we humans do. Eventually they would evolve into people just like us. So, did we create them? No, no matter how advanced our technology becomes, no matter if we (think) can create a robot that can eventually evolve into a human, the process of evolution is not being created because it has always been there. We might be able to alter the vehicle of human evolution but we cannot create the hard drive which allows us to learn and to evolve. We might even be fooled that we have created a being but this would not be true!
This machine we call the universe is solicitously perfect and what I mean by this term is this; it is not perfect because it is always evolving toward perfection. We humans will never be able to match it in its perfection of technology. We are only parts of the machine. For man to believe that they are somehow apart from it… is nonsense. While we evolve toward it, it evolves toward us always and forever engaged in this dance of solicitous perfection, this evolving marriage between man and it.
There are only a certain number of beings in the universe, we have always been here and we will always be here.
I appreciate your question…
Good luck on your journey,
