You do realise that 'natural selection' and 'improvement' are not the same thing, don't you? Whether you are trying to be funny or are just a bit odd, you seem to be getting the scientific theory of evolution mixed up with the pseudo-scientific 'social darwinism' of the late nineteenth century, which still seems to have a remarkable following (probably because it tells the kind of comforting story that religions do) of some kind of progress. It isn't just a question of being 'balanced' or saying 'I don't know' - we know enough to know that evolution functions. That does not however tell us anything about anything else (origins for instance).
