What if? Obviously they must have engineered it such that current evolution theories have the best predictive value for their achievement. A clever bunch, no doubt, but unfortunately outside of the realm of science because it can't be falsified.

But that's the point: current evolution theories have no predictive value and are based on circular logic.

We assume species have a common ancestor because they have similar DNA, and similar DNA is supposed to be proof of a common ancestry.
