This is intellectual dishonesty and equivocation. As shown above evolution is not a purposeful process, nor is it one guided towards some goal. The term 'more evolved' in the popular parlance is not a scientifically accurate. It is in fact meaningless, perhaps it is used occasionally as an indication of a species that has many ancestor species or as an indication of success within a niche. However it is idiomatically used in those cases, and scientists using them in that way are aware that evolution is not acting with any goals.
Evolution is a process that results from the interplay between organisms and environment.
It is no more purposeful than erosion. For further reading on the subject of complexity in life not being a counter point to evolution read The Blind Watch Maker by Richard Dawkins. This issue is not something that has been overlooked by biologists, instead it is a straw man argument which creationists use to prop up their beliefs. The current Pope becomes the first to enter and pray in a Muslim holy place. The Pope calls for greater unity.
