Why is evolution dying out?

That is incorrect. Evolution IS important. It is a theory that states that a gradual, slow change happens within a species over a long period of time. Without evolution we might still be apes or something else. So Evolution is very far from being unimportant.


Is evolution progressive?

It depends first on the context and definition of the terms "evolution" and "progress(ive)". The term evolution may be used in many different contexts; such as the evolution of species, or the evolution of technology. And the term progressive may have more than one meaning; such as implying some form of improvement over time, or merely implying non-stasis.Colloquially, the term evolution may refer to progress in terms of improvement. We might say, for example, that the rapid evolution of technology has led to great improvement in the quality of life. However, the same is not true when the terms are applied to science.Biological evolution, for example, describes how populations diverge, adapt, and differentiate over time resulting in new species. We might say that evolution progresses because it is not static, or because information is being added to the genomes of species over time; but not because there was any quantifiable improvement.


How could the evolution of a characteristic within one species affect the evolution of a characteristic within another species?

A simple coevolution explanation here. A population of rabbits that is running faster, on average, over time is going to affect the population of foxes that pursue the rabbits as food. Some foxes will have variations that lead to faster running and these foxes will be the ones that are reproductively successful and give rise to following generations of foxes.


Who explained that evolution might have occurred in nature from simple to complex form and origin of species by natural selection?

Charles Robert Darwin, of course!


Would Darwin have developed his theory of evolution if he had not read the works of Lyell and Malthus?

He might not of if Malthus had not been around but he depended on the works of Lyell.

What is affect evolution?

The term coevolution (affect) is used to describe cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution. So for example, an evolutionary change in the morphology of a plant, might affect the morphology of an herbivore that eats the plant, which in turn might affect the evolution of the plant, which might affect the evolution of the herbivore and so on.
