"Evolution implies species go through a process of advantagous and purposful change"
"No it does n't . First , the changes may not be neutral . I will presume that you are intelligent enough to grasp that idea the mutations in and of themselves are neither advantagous nor disadvantageous , and the they have no purpose . Evolution happens when the mutations ( and other mechanisms that increase genetic diversity ) are acted upon by other mechanisms of evolution . Even in natural selection there is no purpose . Natural selection is differential reproductive success . Some organisms tend to produce more offspring because they have characteristics that give them an advantage in a particular environment ."
