Is it possible that theyāre all correct?
What if a more advanced species (aliens) planted the initial āseedā in the form of basic organisms; then, allowed for those single-celled organisms to āevolveā gradually into slightly more complex forms, whilst giving the organisms the occasional jolt (rapid change) when/if things got too slow or completely stalled.
So yes, weāve evolved from a simple idea conceived by an advanced civilization; then, this idea was allowed to grow (evolve) on its own with only the occasional āassistanceā, provided by the aliens in question, when deemed necessary (perhaps even to speed things up a little?).
Think of you planting a seed and then allowing the sun and rain to help it grow naturally on its own; however, when the sun is occasionally clouded ā
ļø, and a drought does not allow for rain to fall, you, the seed planter, will assist ever-so-much by providing filtered water from your personal reservoir, a little artificial light, and perhaps even some growth hormones to speed things up a little, and for the seed to keep on growing into a healthy tree that then branches out, flourishes, and bears the nectar from whence we suckle.
