It's possible that God created life through the process of evolution.
Complexity is not evidence of intelligence. As a software engineer I can tell you that some of the most complex code I've seen has come from the least intelligent people.
Random selection could easily create incredible complexity. The true wonder is that there is anything to make complex systems out of. Why does anything exist at all and why do the conditions for life exist in the first place?
No, no it cannot. Your example of software code is incorrect because the code is created by an intelligent designer. It didnt appear on the computer by random natural forces.The idea of evolution is that the complicated life will arise from random and unintelligent forces over time. Simply put, nothing supports this idea. The earth hasn't existed long enough for gradual evolution to create such complex life. The fossil record doesn't support it at all. The very mechanics of natural selection don't support macro-evolution.
Micro-evolution is a part of the mix, but the idea of simple lifeforms gradually changing form into far more complicated ones over time is simply not supported by the evidence we have. The chances of making something even as basic as a single celled organism through that process are astronomically slim.

It could happen if God created the universe such that it could.
