It has taken millions of years for human beings to produce a robot which can do some of the things done by human beings. So much effort and thought has gone into making such an instrument which can do expected things on its own. Still human intervention is needed to get everything right. Creating such complicated computer programme can only be done by programming experts. An average human cannot even understand how they work. Now we can easily understand how difficult it is to create something that make movements and work by itself.
Have you ever thought how complicated our human body is? It is thousands of times more complicated than a robot. We can do many complicated things that a robot cannot do. Just look at our ability of thinking, learning, memorizing and inventing. No one in this world has been able to invent something as complex as human body so far. It proves that despite humans' technological development that has taken place during last hundred years or so, we are still not technologically developed enough to create a machine as complicated as the human body. Not only the human body, but also most animals are highly complicated creatures.
Therefore, it is worth trying to understand how humans came into existence.
Did apes turn into humans?

| Human evolution |
According to Charles Darwin, all the living things in this world have been evolving ever since the life came into being on this planet. He has pointed out a few facts to prove his theory and most of them have come under so much debate. If all the living things are subjected to evolution, why have only humans become more intelligent? According to Darwin, humans proceed from apes and they have gone through a few stages of development before getting to the current status. On one hand, we don’t have enough evidence to completely to rule out his idea, but on the other hand, so many arguments come to our mind when we study his theory of evolution.
Did god create humans?
Billions of people around the world believe in GOD. Although they have different names for the god, they believe that there is a divine being who monitors and controls this world. Most religions believe that humans were created by god. When we look at the complexity of this world, sometimes we feel this cannot be a result of a coincidence. There is a profound significance behind all the creations in this world. Therefore, this world and human beings seem to be carefully-created things. Although, we have good enough explanations for the events that happen on this planet, we don’t have a clear explanation for the beginning of the human yet.
If there is a god, we can undeniably assume that he may have created everything in this universe including human beings. Because we have to accept that god is god and he can do anything. Other question is why he has made himself invisible. If he wants to make humans behave in the way he wants, why doesn’t he intervene in the humans’ activities directly? After all, what is the purpose behind all these creations? In some religions, there is belief that there will be a judgment day for all the human beings who have lived on this planet since the creation of human beings. My question is why the god needs to punish people after they have died. In today’s world, people are punished for their crimes and mistakes in order to create a peaceful environment for others to live in. Why couldn’t he create more advanced human beings who can do nothing wrong?
So many questions crop up when we think about the idea of god creating the world too. If the god created humans, why did he let humans suffer thousands of years? In much of the human history, humans have lived like animals. It was after probably 19th century that humans have started to lead the lives in a more comfortable way. Why couldn’t he make lives of humans better having given them knowledge and resources?
Did aliens create humans?
Some people believe that human were created by another intelligent being having modified genes of an intelligent animal (probably apes) that lived on earth at the time. It would have been possible if there had been more intelligent beings on another planet at that time. If those beings had been developed enough to land on earth, we can assume that they might have carried out something as complicated as genetic modification. There might have been a clear reason behind it too. They may have wanted to civilize another planet with intelligent beings in order to keep the universe alive. Nowadays, we often hear about alien abduction and UFOs. Through these processes, they might be monitoring and developing human beings gradually. In our ancient cultures, there are legends about people descending from sky and giving them knowledge and technology to develop. Perhaps, those are the reasons why people started to believe in god.
