There are perfectly good synonyms for the word if you insist on rambling about technological change, cultural change, individual enlightenment, etc.
As it is, my post was in response to your continuing to conflate one with the other. Most people over the age of eight would understand the distinction.

Evolution equal to progress.
Change doesn't necessary equal to progress.
There never was any progress in the material-physical arena and there will never be for the simple fact that this material-physical universe is balanced by both positive and negative.
Progress can only be achieved in the spiritual arena by evolving our consciousness therefore real evolution is confined to our consciousness alone.
Biological changes have nothing to do with evolution.
Evolution (biological evolution) has nothing whatsoever to do with progress; it's about fitness and reproductive advantage and the changes in gene frequency over a population -- nothing more.
Change (cultural, technological, etc.) can be about progress but not necessarily. Your insistence on misusing the word 'evolution' and your penchant for idiotic analogies is not my problem, moron. Fuck off.
