That statement (the universe, which is what we seemingly evolved and grew in, was created by ... us? we are our own creator?) is so circular and illogical that it is actually ingenious. Like humans existed in some other existence, but we were going to get Gnab Gib'd, so we ensured that the next universe would inevitably rise to precisely recreate us through a convoluted 4 billion year evolutionary program in a tiny speck of dirt in one of billions of galaxies? It's like some convoluted anime/manga plotline that occurs in the final stages of a 10-15 year run. Or heck, like the infamous "Dallas" plot element from the 1980s: THE ENTIRE SERIES WAS JUST A DREAM. Or "Lost". It does seem that quantum mechanics hints at the universe being some bizarre gigantic n-dimensional computational matrix, but that's probably because of the discrete quantities and rigid math and things like hard orbits/energy level jumps which seem a lot like memory assignment or cellular automata.
