::* This a blatant lie. Claiming that science shows a supernatural creator as more likely than evolution for the diversity of life is completely dishonest. The whole point of science is naturalistic explanations (a god would be unscientific by definition), evolution is accepted by essentially all Biologists (and a lesser but still large proportion of all scientists). Evolution is also not strictly incompatible with a god, and many religious people now accept both due to the overwhelming evidence for evolution from many different scientific fields.

Theories

Theory Citations Notes
There is an incredibly powerful being guiding the events in Heroes, whether it be God, a god, or an evolved human. None. + Most of the prophecies made by Isaac, Peter and Sylar are only relevant to the events that involve them; what are the chances that Isaac would paint Hiro's battle with Adam in Out of Time in the same series as the painting of Noah being shot by Mohinder? The events are 400 years apart. (The Line)

+ Something prevents Hiro from causing a rift through time travel.
+ Despite painting a grim future, Nathan exhibits free will by flying Peter above New York City.
+ Faith and religion have a strong influence on the show.
+ Monica prayed that God would give her an exit from the slums of New Orleans. Her prayer appears to be answered in the form of an ability.
+ The Symbol often appears with the "evolved humans." The symbol could be the "signature" of their ultimate designer (similar to how and artists signs his artwork).
- Various characters, I.E. Linderman, have manipulated the idea of the existance of a god/gods existing, thusly lowering the chance that one exists.

Mythological figures in the world of Heroes were actually evolved humans. None. - Heroes will probably not touch upon cultural or religious legends as it may be taken offensively.

+ Bob has the power to turn objects into gold, like King Midas. His computer password reflects the legend. (Powerless)

- Bob is not King Midas. Bob lives in the present. King Midas (assuming he was real in Heroes) lived in the past.
+ Abilities repeat; Nathan and West can both fly, Adam and Claire can both regenerate, Maury and Matt are both telepathic, Richard Drucker and Hana both have electronic data transception, Meredith and the Company agent Maarten can both manipulate fire.
- This is not proof that King Midas existed in Heroes.

+ Takezo Kensei was a mythological Japanese hero. In reality, his story was the combination of the journeys of an evolved human with immortality and an evolved human with the power to bend time and space. The legend was exaggerated by Yaeko. (Out of Time)
+ Benjamin Franklin was an evolved human. (A Lesson in Electricity)
+ Kaito tells Hiro that they have the power of gods, but should not play God. (Cautionary Tales)
- The mythological figures portrayed in Heroes were created in Heroes. They do not "exist" in the real world.

• This is not what the theory is about; the theory suggests that people we recognize as mythologically super-powered (such as Hercules for example) are, in the world of Heroes, evolved humans.
