Bah, all "evolution" is just a form of mutation and survival of creatures with the best traits.

Homo-sapiens just were smarter, and able to use tools better and therefore able to survive easier, in colder climates etc. Add in the ability to eat meat (more sources of food) and bam, you have a clear survival advantage.

As far as where animals came from etc, same as everything else it followed the rules of science. Everything followed logically based on the initial rules that were created.

There is no real debate over which came first the chicken or the egg, the egg came first (lizard eggs) and then eventually the lizards mutated into chickens. Slightly less chicken like lizards created eggs that were more and more like chickens until chickens existed.

Same would be true of humans for that matter, I doubt it was instant, but there are a variety of things you could pin the "apple" on. Using tools for instance, or even the use and control of fire, eating meat (and hunting animals), etc etc. A loss of innocence basically.

There is no point in creating a system, and then not using it. And yes, btw, I do in fact believe any god would limit itself, heck the whole basic point would probably be to do exactly that, as a form of entertainment.

We do that even as human beings, limit ourselves to enjoy things more, so it lasts longer or isn't too easy/boring.

My personal theory of the universe revolves around one sentient (and extremely bored) being splitting it's consciousness up among as many creatures as possible. I believe we are all basically god, just we do not have memories of other lives, the only way to prevent eternal boredom is to compartmentalize existence and forget, forget, forget.
