According to the theory, "they" just set the initial parameters (big bang one would assume) and let things happen. Intelligence is just one of the many random evolutions of mater states in a vast simulation of the universe. It will be accelerated if for example we as humans start a similar simulation of our own. And inside that simulation some other intelligent life evolves. So likewise we may be n levels deep ourselves and never know any better.
