[Poll] How did Bitcoin come to be?

Many people say that Satoshi created Bitcoin. That implies that it wasn't always there already, waiting to be discovered. Its almost an evolution vs intelligent design style philosophical question.

Is Bitcoin so perfect, and so intricate and wonderful. How all the inherent forces of the different crypto algos had to come together in this unique way to be something, which when looked at as a whole is so much greater than its parts.

Could a Human invent or create this?

Or was it merely discovered by Satoshi? A brilliant discovery, but something this great was already waiting there. Too perfect and precise in all its functioning components working together for some one to think up piece by piece.

That is, did Satoshi manage to build this piece by piece methodically like a true creator, or did the whole product just occur to him as if it were put there by God/the creation of the universe, waiting for some mortal to stumble upon it?
