My friend made me believe in both Creationism, Evolution, and all of that.
His theory was that time extended infinitely backwards and forwards, so there was never a start or a stop - It just 'is'.
Assuming that evolution always happens, and if time happens infinitely back, then something had to happen before us, and that's where theirs the idea of a higher being. Humans are higher then say, a dog. So what's to say that the higher being isn't just a more evolved version of us? In theory it could work if you somehow find a way around the big bang/crunch theory. I believe this theory, and with creationism, if something extends that far back, we can't be the first to figure out gene therapy, and all that other exciting and fun stuff, so we could also be the spawn of the 'higher creature' in our or someone else's evolution scale.
Also, with this idea, the higher being always has a higher being above that, and there's always a lower being in the future below us, so there's no 'true' higher being, just those that show themselves above humans, or whichever is above them.
