If you pay attention to the text, you’ll see that John offers a very evolutionary notion of the Christ message. Note the active verb that is used here: “The true light that enlightens every person was coming (erxomenon) into the world” (1:9).
In him was life and that life was the light of all mankind (1:4)
…"children born not of natural descent NOR of human decision, or a husband's will, but t born of God." (1:13)
