Evolution is simply the generation of diversity and the shaping of the diversity by environmental selection. Species adapt to the conditions available in their environment. Some older and simple species live on quite effectively. The only progressive trend in evolution seems to be that more and more complex body designs have emerged over time.
In fact, one of the simplest life forms like bacteria - inhabit the most inhospitable habitats like hot springs, deep-sea thermal vents and the ice in Antarctica.
This is the reason why evolution in not equated with progress.
What else can I help you with?
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.

Why is evolution reffered to as a theory?
I don't exactly know why evolutionists refer to it as a theory, but I do know this. A theory is an explanation or model based on observation, experimentation, and reasoning. According to the definition of a theory, evolution is not a theory. Evolution cannot be based on observation. No one was here to observe it. So evolution should be classified as a hypothesis not a theory. It is only a guess as to how things came about.
What is contingent evolution?
Contingent evolution is one of the forces of Darwin's theory of evolution. It is based on the concept of how power of accidents and happenstance shape the course of evolution.

What do you mean by equated factors?
Equated means set equal to each other, so equated factors means factors that are equal.
What is equated credits?
Equated credits are figured on the basis of the number of class (contact) hours per week.They are figured in determining minimum course load and full-time status. Equated credits do not count in figuring your index or toward the total credits required for your degree.
What was georg hegel views on life?
This process he called the dialectic: an evolution toward progress that springs out of conflict.
Does evolution show progress in any large sense?
No, but it does tend to show greater complexity of organisms, on average.
What has the author TIMOTHY SHANAHAN written?
TIMOTHY SHANAHAN has written: 'EVOLUTION OF DARWINISM: SELECTION, ADAPTATION, AND PROGRESS IN EVOLUTIONARY BIOLOGY'
Why is it important to balance evolution and revolution?
Balancing evolution and revolution is important because evolution allows for gradual, sustainable change, while revolution can bring about rapid and often disruptive transformation. By combining both approaches, societies and systems can adapt to changing circumstances while also addressing immediate needs for change and progress. This balance helps to ensure stability, progress, and innovation in a controlled and strategic manner.
Have we humans stunted our evolutionary path by increases in medical science?
No. This is a common misconception that natural selection will not eliminate the " weak " id we medically ameliorate their problems. This misconception is even held by some biologists. Actually, the coin evolution pays in is reproductive success and natural selection can be a creative force to that end. Evolution is the change in allele frequency over time in a population of organisms and the " stunted path " concept implies progress in evolution, but evolution does not care about progress, only reproductive success. If alleles change frequency in populations of organisms, which they do, evolution is not being " stunted, " whatever that means.
Is evolution considered progressive in the scientific community?
In the scientific community, evolution is not necessarily considered progressive in the sense of always leading to improvement. Evolution is a process of change and adaptation over time, driven by natural selection and genetic variation. It does not have a predetermined direction or goal of progress.
