Anyway, you can evolve a brain the size of a planet, (or Brain 100000^100000 as sophisticated ID scientimathicians like to call it), you'll still be limited by physics, still know nothing about stuff outside the light cone, still not be the creator. Of course, within our universe counting from 13.x bi. Years ago, there wasn't enough time anyways for that.
The only math needed is for the chances of abiogenesis. Once intelligent life exists, evolution and selection will ensure the most adaptable and intelligent will reproduce and survive. So natural selection guarantees intelligence has a greater chance of increasing over time rather than decreasing over time.
