But evolution is a purely scientific field which describes the process of natural selection and this process is initated by random mutations which provide the basis for this selection over time. If God or any other supernatural factor is involved at all then our understanding of evolution is wrong to say the least. As it stands to say that evolution was directed toward humans with large brains is the equivalent of saying that evolution was directed toward elephants with long trunks the long neck of a giraffe. These are all just physical adaptations to physical selection pressures and our own evolution fits with any other animal. You could have a deistic God who created the laws of physics that potentially would allow something like humans to evolve somewhere in the universe by pure chance but that isn't the Biblical or Islamic God.
