No wonder you don't get it.. you're coming at it from a creationism viewpoint.. as though there is purpose.. a goal.. a design...
Evolution is cold and blind.. there is no goal.. no point.. only the environment and mutations changing organisms to best cope with their surroundings...

I don't attach those meanings to evolution but many do, including scientists. In fact one of the arguments put forth to explain the differences between humans and races in terms of intelligence comes from evolutionists. So although it may be laughable to you, many of your ilk believe that morality and intelligence do derive from evolution.
But since you disagree with that, let me ask you how do you explain human societies functioning? How could they function without morality? You don't see this as a product of evolution?

The dictionary definition disagrees with you
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=evolution
"
A gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or
better form. "
"The process of
developing." (note: developing is "better" or "positive")
Don't try to stonewall me by calling me a Creationist or coming from a Creationist standpoint. I'm coming from a purely empirical scientific standpoint. Again, I'm NOT religious.
