that theory has a lot of holes in it
first of all: the structure was made by the forerunners, probably before humanity existed
secondly: if the humans started fighting back, the covenant would've just pwned them right then and there. think about it, if we had only just started making weapons they wouldve done little to nothing against the covenant, compared to the advanced human weapons now
thirdly: guilty spark says in halo 2 (great journy) that "his creators activated the rings. All sentient life in the radii of the galatic centre...died as planned"
I think humanity and the covenant came into being around the same time....after the forerunner activated the rings. The covenant were able to move up the tech ladder so mch faster then us because they were the first to discover ancient forerunner secrets and weapons, and also because all the difeernet species joined up together... instead of constantly killing eachother off and corrupted government officials destroying economys and starting pointless wars over retarded issues.. that would've been us
