They emerged into existence by means of evolution, yes, but
accidentally, arbitrarily, it could've been otherwise (because
evolution is indeed purposeless and blind). There is no advertance
to evolution. The human brain, which fortuitously (for us) arose
from this blind and purposeless process is, due to its degree of
complexity allowing for the recursion required for self-reference,
capable of both intentionality and creativity, but they originate
within each developing individual subjectivity, and do not pass
through them from some prior source as if they were merely
vessels channelling a Larger Will.
