I'm sorry, but that statement is not accurate. Oxygen is an element that exists naturally in the universe, and it was not invented or created by humans or any other living organism. However, it is true that oxygen has played a crucial role in the evolution of life on Earth. Photosynthesis, a process by which plants and other photosynthetic organisms produce oxygen, has had a profound impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere and the development of complex life forms.



Nope - because you jumped to a wrong assumption.

I was referring to the new idea that the laws of physics were not set at the dawn of the universe, but rather evolved - and as the existence of oxygen depends on the laws of physics - ergo oxygen evolved.
