you neglect the fact that an understanding of the TOP is intuitive. just cause you were teh smart enough to connect the dots doesn't mean that that same creative process in you that formulated the theorum isn't already the potential in another.

call it IQ or call it the inherent creative process of the Universe working through you, the way your mind formed the understanding, that same creativity is innately a part of and the whole (holonic: a series of whole/parts, transecening itself) of what makes up the creative process aka evolution.

Some people aren't creative because they're dumb, for a lot of reasons, their personality is fragmented due to dissolution, mental blocks, fear, they have deficiencies in brain from drugs or they're born that way, they attach to ideas or systems of thinking rather than being freed by them ... they identify with form rather than form and the emptiness underlying, which form manifests from, there's lots of reasons creativity gets blocked, physical or mental blocks.

Where does genius come from? It's already there it just has to be uncovered though that doesn't mean it doesn't take a focused dedicated mind to manifest it hence meditation/other Eastern traditions aimed at uncovering you 'true self'.

'god' is the creative process itself, spirit transcends form but isn't separate from form, two sides of the same coin. evolution arguably has a telos or direction and it's towards a 'higher' more encompassing, transcendence of itself or what it's already come to be. in this way there is no stop to evolution though a person may regress through their own ideas of separation hence 'original sin', the loss of innocense, the fall from 'grace'. blah blah blah.
