And if evolution did produce, "God did it." Then very likely he did.

Evolution is about genetics. That we can think at a higher level and organize complex societies in partially negates the effects of evolution. On a simple level, the weak are no longer are left to die out; someone being born with a genetic defect in his leg not allowing him to escape predators can easily thrive in human society and pass on his genes.

On the other hand, it allows a weakling such as Descartes to spend much of his childhood in bed while going to school. It is certain that the human mind produced evolution; nor so certain that evolution produced the human mind, unless by evolution we mean simply the development of humanity from unknown brutish ancestors.
