Unfortunately the possibilities regarding the source of the universe seem to be endless. Us humans just don't have enough knowledge or perhaps the capacity to understand about the nature of things yet and may never have.
Most of us who accept evolution usually don't try to extend the theory to the universes source. We are assuming the universe started somehow (like the big bang theory) and things evolved from there. Many just accept the evolution of life on this planet and don't necessarily include the cosmos in their thinking.
The source of the universe is one big mystery that will probably keep humans creating all kinds of religions to explain it. We seem to have a need to fill that vacuum of unknowing with something. Most of us who are atheists and agnostics have chosen to leave that mystery open for now. Atheists take it one step farther and believe the ultimate answer will not include a god.
