I admit the possibility that someone/something could help mankind to develop (faster) in past - by scientific or cultural means). But I mean some extraterrestrial intelligence (not some omnipotent Abrahamic Creator). In my opinion these possible factors cannot be excluded and I consider it as possible, if not likely scenario. But of course I can be wrong although I don't think I am, when I consider all the remarkable things one can find in remote past (I don't want to use the term "evidence" because a lot of this "evidences" could really be a blind and misleding path but I think that not all of them).

So the answer to the initial question is IMO yes, when we narrow down evolution only to strict darwinism, but otherwise not, because the creationistic explanation is just made up and is not based on any scientific and empirical findings at all, or more precisely: such explanation is in contradiction with them. But of course, creationists are always seeking for anything that would back up their theory.. I could continue but I won't because I intend to keep my promise not to criticize religion for a while .
