I think AGIs will be built by evolution, and use evolution for their own thinking, because I think human thinking uses evolution (replication with variation and selection of ideas). I don't think any other method of knowledge creation is known, other than evolution.

The scientific method doesn't look much like evolution to me. At a simpler level, things like observation and experimentation don't look like it, either.
Why expect AGIs to be better at thinking than human beings? Is there some argument that human thinking problems are primarily due to hardware constraints? Has anyone here put much thought into parenting/educating AGIs?
