You would need to break down the premise there mate.
If you are implying intelligence exists simply because of space-time, im apt to ponder why?
The third law of thermodynamics states that a system's entropy approaches a constant value as the temperature approaches absolute zero. With the exception of non-crystalline solids (glasses) the entropy of a system at absolute zero is typically close to zero.

Do you know what a Boltzmann Brain is?
It's a flawed theory anyhow so maybe beside the point.
But things happen whether we are around to observe them or otherwise, at least at the macro scale our universe exists.
Cause and effect are the colour of our day.

If evolution is true, you can trace our lineage back to a divergence from a mutant ape. This great-grand-daddy mutant ape is what you think is your ancestor. Going back even further you think the greatest grand-daddy of them all is a little microbe that managed to miraculously form from pond goo. I have great grief that so many people believe such nonsense. There is so much philosophical potential in every human, yet it is wasted because the youth are convinced they are an accident. You are one of the perpetrators of this philosophical travesty.

Absolutely not true. Branching and speciation defines evolution - not your god from the Blue Lagoon. You're the monkey mutation by choice. Your cult is nothing but filth and corruption.
As we moved into about 1000 years ago that 1000s of years to like double our knowledge was now 100s of year, and then about 1700 that was down to 100 years, 1900 hit and we are talking horse and buggy to on the moon in 70 years. Today it is suggested it is down to 10 years now as to huge gains.
Before Hawking died he said man has taken over his own evolution. Musk wants to create neural implants because he sees AI evolve much faster than man can and feels we need to emerge with AI to stay at the same pace. In 50 years man will be much different and in 5000 years just think of what man might be? In 10,000 years we might be terraforming another plant and planting life there in our image...
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.”

How can you avoid inevitably having an ape-like creature in human lineage if evolution is true?
You don't even understand your own religion.
Confirmation that you're an idiot. You get run over every time.
Your cult stinks of filth and corruption.
Because apart from belief ...there is no evidence to support God. God was applied to the equation when man did not have the answers to certain question. Since the time of Man only man has spoken for God..he has left no evidence of himself/herself/itself...yet..again because we don't have all the answers..rather than try to find out the truth, based on evidence, we cling to the God theory..only because the idea of death frightens us so.

Well certainly don't want you to leave. And I was short on time for the
last response just trying to get to everyone. I thought might be interesting
to read your take on that passage in Daniel. Any way thanks for posting.
But I do agree that the whole body of religious texts points towards something extra ordinary materialists love to deny.
But that might be "just" a mystery of the consciousness and not necessarily proof for something outside the human experience.
A great book is COSMOSAPIENS from John Hands.
That is just 10,000 year or so, how about a billion?
To be honest I'm not sure if higher intelligence is a good trait.
We can destroy life on the earth 1000 times over as example, but if we live through that period there is a good chance we will become something that isn't really life as the universe creates.
I wonder how that all fits into God's plan since he plans everything it seems, so whatever we do even if we destroy the earth it is actually God's plan. ANYTHING that happens within his universe would be God's plan.
Just love the Father with all your heart and believe in what his
son did to redeem us. Then when you truly have that in your heart
you won't be perfect in this mess we've made. But you will put your
best foot forward. And begin the struggle to obey him seeing it
really is what is best for us any way.
